Quang Minh (theo Heathline) |

Adding foods that help purify the lungs is essential to improving respiratory health.

Here are 7 foods that help clean and protect the lungs effectively:

Garlic

Garlic contains the compound allicin, which has powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. According to research from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, allicin helps clear the lungs, reduce respiratory infections, and help remove excess mucus.

How to use: Add garlic to your daily meals or eat raw garlic with honey in the morning to improve lung health.

Ginger

Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that help thin mucus and relieve congestion in the lungs. According to the American Lung Association (ALA), ginger helps improve lung function, especially for people exposed to dust or smoke.

How to use: Make ginger tea or add ginger to dishes to maximize the benefits.

Apple

Apples are rich in flavonoids and vitamin C, which help improve lung function. Research from King's College London shows that people who eat apples regularly have better lung capacity and are less likely to suffer from respiratory diseases.

How to use: Eat fresh apples or make unsweetened juice.

Turmeric

Curcumin in turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that help eliminate toxins and reduce lung damage caused by pollution. A study in the European Respiratory Journal found that curcumin helps reduce the risk of chronic lung disease.

How to use: Mix turmeric with warm milk or add to daily dishes.

Kale

Kale is rich in antioxidants such as beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect lung cells from free radical damage. Research from the US National Institute of Nutrition shows that green vegetables have a significant effect on improving lung function.

How to use: Eat raw in salad or stir-fry lightly to preserve nutrients.

Green tea

Green tea is rich in catechins, an antioxidant that helps reduce inflammation and clear the lungs. Research from Kyoto University (Japan) shows that drinking green tea regularly improves respiratory health and reduces the risk of pneumonia.

How to use: Drink 2-3 cups of green tea per day, avoid drinking before bed to avoid affecting sleep.

Honey

Honey has natural antibacterial properties that help soothe the throat and reduce lung irritation. According to the Institute of Medicine, honey helps relieve chronic coughs and protects the lining of the lungs from harmful agents.

How to use: Mix honey with warm water or drink with ginger tea to increase lung cleansing effect.
