That was really a surprise to read…, early this morning I opened up my newspaper, and saw the headline of this article.
Apples and tomatoes are good for your lungs.
- English scientists have discovered that eating apples and tomatoes on a regular basis, are doing great things for your lungs. They did their search under 3000 people with breathing problems and diseases like Asthma. They asked things about their diet, and made changes in it. After a period, they asked these people to do a test, to measure the capacity of their lungs. The best results have been reached, by people who ate more than 5 apples in a week, or at least ate a tomato, every other day.
It seems that querectine, (also to be found in onions, tea and red wine) is the useful element, who helps to protect people’s lungs against the bad effects of air pollution and smoke. –
That was the text…, and I read it loud, so my husband could hear it as well. His response was quite clear: “Keep buying apples! You can see the result on your own sons. They never have been better!”
A true word was spoken. All three kids are eating apples like they can’t find something else…in a week I have to buy four or five kilo’s( 8 to 10 lbs). I may be lucky if I can eat one sometimes… But, both my sons were diagnosed with Asthma when they were a baby. You should see them now. Both the boys are healthy, medication is reduced to almost nothing.
My conclusion is a short one: I’ll let them eat apples, as many as they like!
