Lung Health and Nutrition

By Charlotte Meschede - Nutritionist

Lung health and nutrition is mostly an overlooked topic. One doesn’t naturally think of diet as being a factor in maintaining lung health. However, in view of the recent worldwide events, it is time to look at factors that may or may not help the lungs become more resilient.

The Mediterranean Diet

has been found to be very beneficial in maintaining respiratory health. This is a diet consisting primarily of fresh, whole foods, an emphasis on plant foods such as vegetables, fruit, wholegrains, legumes, nuts and seeds. There is a moderate intake of dairy foods as well as fish and poultry and a much lower intake of red meat than the average Western diet includes. High intakes of olive oil indicate that the overall diet is low in saturated fat, but high in mono-saturated fats, which have an anti-inflammatory effect as opposed to the pro-inflammatory effect of the fat found in meat and most fast foods as well as the massively high sugar intake from processed foods. Studies in both children and adults showed that eating a diet that is high in salt and fast foods such as hamburgers and fries was associated with a worsening of asthma and an increase in inflammation of the airways. Research has also indicated that diets containing fresh fruit and vegetables, in particular green leafy vegetables, was associated with a lower incidence of wheezing. A diet that is high in fresh vegetables and fruit has also been associated with a lower risk of asthma in both adults and children.

Omega-3 fatty acids

and those fats found in fatty fish such as sardines, mackerel and salmon, are also indicated in creating a less inflammatory environment in the lungs. Eating fatty fish during pregnancy if the mother was asthmatic was also thought to be protective of her children getting asthma.

An even greater area of concern is oxidative stress in the airways, which is caused by various factors such as pollution, airborne irritants (allergens) and other factors creating inflammation and damage to lung tissue. This is where the intake of antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, carotenoids and flavonoids which are abundantly present in fruit and vegetables, nuts, seeds, green tea and cocoa will also help to protect against oxidative stress. Specific studies have shown that supplementation with these nutrients, in isolation as well as in combinations, have been found to reduce the

damage caused by inflammation in the respiratory passages of patients with chronic asthma. These antioxidants are particularly important in the diet of a pregnant woman who has asthma, not only for the reduction in her complications, but also in the risk of the baby developing asthma at a later stage.

Vitamin D once again, has also come to the fore, especially as many people show deficient levels of vitamin D in winter, particularly in the northern hemisphere where sunlight is at a minimum for several months of the year. Even in hotter countries like South Africa and Australia, vitamin D deficiency seems to be prevalent, possibly due to the overuse of sunscreens and/or people sitting in offices in daylight hours.

AIM Products and Nutrients for healthy lungs

Whilst there is no question that we cannot control all the factors that lead to issues, we can control what we eat. As I say in all the articles I write, there is no substitute for a healthy diet. However, in times such as these we can help to ensure that our bodies have the correct ammunition to deal with whatever comes at us. In terms of ensuring a greater anti-inflammatory environment, it is important to give our bodies the basic nutrients which help it to work at its optimal level. AIM LeafGreens and BarleyLife are

concentrated sources of green leafy vegetables. I defy anyone who can honestly say that he/she eats enough green vegetables every day. Omege-3 fatty acids are sometimes also difficult to incorporate in an average diet. Not everyone likes to eat fatty fish, and oils containing essential fatty acids such as safflower oil, sesame oil and flax oil, so supplementing with AIMega does provide an insurance that at least these basic nutrient demands are met. Once again, AIM Proancynol provides a number of antioxidants that will also help to provide the deficit caused by over-processed foods as well as foods that are grown in nutrient-depleted soils.

CalciAIM

provides a valuable source of available calcium as well as other minerals and vitamins such as magnesium, zinc and vitamin D. A must for everyone who suspects their vitamin D, calcium and other mineral intake is inadequate.

In recent years, much has also been researched with regard to the effect of ‘good’ bacteria, not only in the gut but all over the body and the lungs are no exception. We all have resident bacteria and other pathogens in our bodies, some good and some bad. It is the balance between the two that helps to preserve health over the absence of disease. AIM FloraFood will provide some of these beneficial bacteria that are so crucial to our overall well-being.
