So you finally gave up smoking the dreaded evil weed and now your worried that your lungs need repairing?
It's very hard for people to quit smoking, but with the newest gadget on the market out there to help smokers quit once and for all ( that gadget is the e-cig) most smokers are now worried about the damage they have done to their lungs over the years
People who smoke e-cig are known as vappers, that is because the smoke they are inhaling is really just harmless vapour ( with or without nicotine.)
If you have smoked 2 packets of fags a day for the last 30 years your lungs are not going to be pink and healthy any more, no Sir they will be black and withered yuck...
So how can you ever get your lungs back to the healthy way they were all those years ago before you began to smoke?
You can take a combination of vitamins and exercise after quitting smoking , easier said than done, because how do you know what vitamins to take and how many to take?
There was a lung specialist on Ophra talking about smoking and your lungs and he said it takes approximately 10 years for your lungs to return to their pre-smoking condition unless you detoxed your lungs and helped nature along.
Thinking about it, what if: you could do a lung detox?
A recent study is published in the Journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention that says eating a wide variety of fruit and veg every day can slash the risk of developing lung cancer by a quarter.
Smokers in perticular can cut their risk but the variety they eat is just as important as the quantity . Those eating 8 or more differant types of fruit and veg can reduce their chances of developing epidermoid carcinoma of the lung by up to 23%.
At least eight types a day is key and more benifical than eating only four a day say the study compiled by 10 leading cancer research centers across Europe.
