This food treats chronic bronchitis

One specific food can reduce your risk of chronic bronchitis by 20% according to a new study published in the Journal of Translational Medicine.

They also give a long list of bronchitis benefiting foods you should load up on.

Because flavonoids have previously been found to fight inflammation and protect our cells from damage, a team of researchers wondered whether they could help to reduce our risk of developing chronic lung problems like asthma, emphysema, and chronic bronchitis.

To investigate, they analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007–2010 and 2017–2018. This included the information of 15,753 adults.

The participants had to report what they’d eaten so the researchers could calculate the amount of flavonoids they consumed. Their health data included information regarding the diagnosis of and treatment for chronic lung problems.

After some number crunching, adjusting for things like age and smoking, they found that people who ate more flavonoids were less likely to have chronic respiratory diseases.

Here are the details:

1. When all such diseases were taken together, participants’ risk was 14% lower for total flavonoids, 16% lower for anthocyanidins (found in red, purple, and blue fruits), 20% lower for flavanones (found in citrus fruits), and 15% lower for flavones (found in herbs and veggies).

2. A mix of different flavonoids was linked to a 12% lower chance of having lung problems.

3. A variety of dietary flavonoids was linked to a lower chance of having any lung disease by 12%, asthma by 8%, chronic bronchitis by 12%, and emphysema by 30%.

4. Participants who ate a variety of flavonoids benefited especially from flavanones, found in citrus fruits, and anthocyanidins, found in red, blue, and purple fruits.

The study also looked at signs of inflammation in the participants’ bodies, because long-term inflammation can damage your lungs and lead to chronic lung diseases.

They found that eating more flavonoids was linked to lower levels of these inflammation markers. In fact, inflammation helped explain about 12.64% of why flavonoids were connected to lower rates of lung problems.
