Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a very difficult disease to cure, caused by chronic ventilation decline , leading to a number of problems such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema. Recently, a study by the University of Science and Life in Warsaw (Poland) found that apples may prevent the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

According to People, researchers conducted a 13-year survey of more than 4,000 men aged 45-79 years. Of these, two-thirds ever smoke, a quarter are still smoking. Besides, about 1,900 people in the early stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The results showed that whether smoking or not, people who ate five or more vegetables a day reduced their risk of lung disease by 35% compared with those who ate less than 2 types of vegetables.

Thus, eating habits have a significant impact on lung health. The authors of the study recommend that people who are hard to quit should increase their daily intake of vegetables. In particular, apples contain many antioxidants that can prevent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, so those in high risk groups should eat every day.
