This included the information of 15,753 adults.<\/p>\n<p>The participants had to report what they&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><em>Here are the details:<\/em><\/p>\n<dl>\n<dd>\n1. When all such diseases were taken together, participants&#8217; 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).<\/p>\n<p>2. A mix of different flavonoids was linked to a 12% lower chance of having lung problems.<\/p>\n<p>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%. <\/p>\n<p>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.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<p>The study also looked at signs of inflammation in the participants&#8217; bodies, because long-term inflammation can damage your lungs and lead to chronic lung diseases.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blueheronhealthnews.com\/health\/banishing-bronchitis-sl-bhnn\/\">If you\u2019re already suffering from chronic bronchitis, eating oranges is not enough.
