Lung-protecting diet recommended for smokers

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the lungs are delicate organs that cannot tolerate cold or heat, and hate dryness and inflammation the most. Cigarettes are hot, toxic, and dry. Long-term smoking is most likely to damage the lungs. Dryness and heat invade the lungs, eventually causing a variety of symptoms. In terms of treatment, in view of the physiological functions of the lungs and the pathological characteristics of tobacco, the method is mostly to clear away heat and resolve phlegm, nourish yin and moisten the lungs. Here, we introduce several dietary methods to prevent smoke-related diseases and reduce the harm of smoking through "diet therapy".
