Fruits stall decline in lung function, study finds
A diet rich in fresh fruits may slow down the lung's natural aging process, according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Researchers found that adults who ate more than two tomatoes or more than three portions of fresh fruit a day had a slower decline in natural lung function than others.
Among former smokers, the results were striking, showing that over a 10-year period diets appear to help repair smoking damage.
Eating processed fruits, such as tomato sauce, did not show results.
