People who eat more apples have more healthy lungs

Spitting, coughing, and feeling old for breathlessness - people with this type of symptoms may benefit from eating apples. Spitting, coughing, and dyspnea are symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A survey conducted in the Netherlands for people suffering from the disease found that people who eat more flavoprotein-containing foods have symptoms. The lighter. The survey results were published in the July issue of the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

COPD is a disease caused by chronic inflammation in the lungs and a gradual decline in respiratory function. More common in smokers, Japan's statistics is that 1 out of every 10 people aged 40 or older suffers from COPD, which is a type of frequent illness. When the illness is mild, they often spitting, coughing, and sometimes breathless, and after the condition is aggravated, they cannot leave the oxygen bottle because of breathing difficulties. No treatment that can actually inhibit the progression of the disease has yet been found.

Cora Tabak and others at the National Institute of Public Health and Environment in the Netherlands looked at flavoproteins contained in fruits and other plants. There are several thousands of flavoproteins, among which catechin, flavonol and flavone are reported to have the effect of preventing COPD from being aggravated. Therefore, with the help of 13,651 COPD patients, they investigated the relationship between the levels of catechins, flavonols, and flavonoids and the prevalence of COPD in the foods that patients usually eat.

As a result, it was found that if the patients were divided into five groups according to the intake of flavoprotein, the cough and phlegm levels of those who consumed the most were 2 to 30% lower than those who consumed the least. The first-second forced expiratory volume (FEV 1.0) used to determine the degree of COPD prevalence also differs depending on the intake of flavoprotein.

Black tea and apples contain a large amount of catechins, flavonols, and flavonoids. However, interestingly, the uptake of flavoproteins from black tea or from apples is not the same as the prevalence of COPD. There is no correlation between the degree of COPD and the intake of black tea, and the more people who eat apples, the less severe the symptoms of COPD.
