Respiratory Health & Lung Protection
Supporting Your Breath of Life
Why it matters:
Your lungs are constantly exposed to the outside world — air pollution, smoke, pathogens, and allergens. Weak respiratory defenses can lead to frequent infections, chronic cough, or shortness of breath. The right nutrients help keep airways clear and resilient.
How it works:
- N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) → replenishes glutathione, the body’s master antioxidant, and thins mucus for easier breathing.
- Vitamin E → protects lung tissue from oxidative damage.
- Omega-3s → reduce airway inflammation and support lung capacity.
- Garlic → natural antimicrobial that strengthens immunity.
- Vitamin C → supports collagen in lung tissue and boosts immune response.
Foods that help:
- Onions, garlic → natural antimicrobials
- Fatty fish, chia seeds, flaxseed → Omega-3s
- Citrus fruits, kiwi, peppers → Vitamin C
- Nuts, seeds, spinach → Vitamin E
- Broccoli, kale → antioxidants for lung health
Lifestyle tip:
Regular physical activity (like walking or swimming) improves lung capacity. Avoiding smoking and polluted environments is just as important as nutrient support.
Helpful for:
- Frequent respiratory infections
- Chronic cough or mucus buildup
- Asthma and airway sensitivity
- General lung protection
