7. Take a Deep Breath
Your lungs are attacked every day because of cigarette smoke, air pollution, pollen, and other airborne damage. In addition, you may have asthma, emphysema, or a similar lung condition. If all you want to do is take a deep breath, eat an apple. A five-year study of over 2,500 Welsh men found that those who ate five or more apples per week could fill their lungs with more air than men who did not eat apples. Experts think you might get some special protection from the antioxidant quercetin. Unfortunately, eating apples cannot reverse the lung condition you already have, but you can only add a new line of defense against more damage.
It can be stored by purchasing apples that are not clumped, hard and have suitable color. Take it out of its plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator – preferably in a product basket or in a paper bag. Since it will absorb odors, keep it away from strong-smelling foods like garlic and onions.
