Whether you suffer from lung disease, asthma or apnea, what you eat can dramatically effect how you breathe. 

1. Plenty of Ionized Alkaline Water
Always drink plenty of fluids. Keeping well hydrated will help keep mucus thin, which makes it easier to cough up.

2. Avocados
They contain an important antioxidant called glutathione. Experts in general hail the health-promoting qualities of antioxidants far and wide. Their role in the body is to protect cells against the damage inflicted by free radicals. Avocado, be it in a salad or in a snack, are also are rich in monounsaturated fat, the kind of fat you actually want in your diet because it helps lower cholesterol. 

3. Apples
People who reported eating two to five apples a week had a 32% lower risk of asthma than people who ate less. There are compounds in apples known as flavonoids that may be responsible. One flavonoid in particular, khellin, has been shown to open up airways.

4. Carrots
Consuming Vitamin A enables your body to defend itself against bacteria, toxins and other infection causing pathogens. When the body isn't supplemented with that, those who are prone to lung aliments, can be lead to dangerous infections, pneumonia and other respiratory problems. Carrots contain substantial amounts of vitamin A that prevent that.


You can always turn this concoction into a smoothie or ingredients of a salad or just a snack. What ever your heart desires, enjoy it.
