Publisher's Synopsis
This book sheds light on how to prevent lung disease through dieting and also elucidates how to optimize lung health. Additionally, how to mitigate risks for chronic diseases by embracing an alkaline, antioxidant rich, raw fruitarian diet are also delineated in this book. Preventing lung disease simply lies in embracing a raw fruitarian diet coupled with prolonging fasting. By eating eating fruits and vegetables that are characterized by high levels of alkalinity that also have a low glycemic load, such as avocados and cauliflower, you not only attain an akaline body with a blood pH level above 7.35, but can also create a microcosm in your body that also preempts the formation of tumors and fatty plaque build up in the arteries, especially when combined with the power of prolonging fasting. "Plant-based foods rich in antioxidants and fibre have a beneficial effect on lung health and can prevent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Additionally, good lung function can be linked to high intakes of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, citrus fruits, and apples" ("Chronic Lung Diseases", n.d.). Moreover, bronchitis, asthma, and emphysema are also preventable with the consumption of an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant rich, raw fruitarian diet coupled with prolonging fasting. These nutrient dense, alkaline foods help prevent inflammation, phlegm, chest infections, airflow obstruction of the airflow passages, and breathing difficulties. Furthermore, lung disease can be averted with minimizing exposure to noxious pollutants, deleterious chemical fumes, dust, second-hand smoke (Nichols, 2017), carcinogens, neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors, irritants, and other hazardous ingredients that permeate the air. Fasting helps stave off lung disease since it allows the body to break down potentially harmful fat deposits and discharge toxins. Additionally, fasting bolsters immune system health, stimulates growth hormone production, increases white blood cell production, boosts stem cell production, and also allows the body to remove damaged cells. Fasting detoxifies the body (Maucere, 2018) and is critical for staving off lung disease. Optimizing lung health goes beyond embracing an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant rich, raw fruitarian diet and undergoing prolonging fasting. Bolstering lung health entails slowly breathing through the nose and never through the mouth, remaining eminently hydrated at all times, attaining substantial REM sleep daily, pursuing lung healthy exercises to remain active, partaking in stress alleviating activities daily, utilizing optimal breathing techniques daily to improve oxygen inhalation, minimizing time spent being sedentary, and minimizing exposure to deleterious ingredients such as pollutants, second hand smoke, chemical fumes, dust, carcinogens, neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors and irritants that can permeate the air. Moreover," 'laughing is a great exercise to work the abdominal muscles and increase lung capacity. It also clears out your lungs by forcing enough stale air out that it allows fresh air to enter into more areas of the lung' "("Tips for Keeping", n.d.). Additionally, eating nutrient dense, anti-inflammatory, raw, alkaline fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, fibre, and other salubrious compounds can significantly augment lung health ("Chronic Lung Diseases", n.d.). Some of the myriad of wholesome, nutrient dense foods that enhance lung health encompass broccoli, garlic, apples, papayas, oranges, cabbage, cauliflower, grapefruit, carrots, and red bell peppers ("14 Foods for", 2018). Ultimately, optimizing lung health is vital and of utmost importance since the lungs are necessary for extracting oxygen from the environment and subsequently transferring the oxygen into the bloodstream. The ramifications appertaining to neglecting to optimize lung health can be dire and can lead to inflammatory lung diseases, wheezing, phlegm, and chest infections.
