Do Carrots Help With The Renewal?

I was told that eating carrots helped to renew the lining of the lungs faster. Is this true? If it isn't, is there anything that will aid in renewing the lining so that the healing process is speeded? Seems like maybe antioxidants should help. I hope someone knows the answer. Phoebe

Re: Do Carrots Help With The Renewal?

Hi Phoebe- -

I've heard that eating lots of vegetables, especially yellow and orange ones, provide a lot of antioxidents. I also read somewhere that apples (have something in them) that is good for the lungs, so of course I eat an apple or two everyday. I also heard that grapes are very high in antioxidents, didn't hear which color tho, but I like green grapes. I also take CoQ-10, which is an antioxident, and touted by many as very good, (Dr. Andrew Weil), so I take that daily, as well as Vita C, E, B-Complex, and quite a few others. I drink protein shakes now daily, and just try to eat a good balanced diet. I NEVER ate very well when I smoked, as I'd rather smoke than take the time to eat. (STU-PID!) I've never eaten so well in my life as I do these days! And I exercise daily, walking from 3-4 miles a day, which is also good for the lungs. It's so funny how after we quit smoking, we want to start taking better care of our health, all around. And now we have the time! (not wasting time outside smoking!)
Good luck Phoebe!
Deda

Thanks Deda. Come next payday, I'm stocking up on Vitamins/supplements. Carrots are high in Vit A, and the red grapes are the ones that have been said to be very good for you as well as tomatoes too even in the form of catsup. Phoebe

Re: Do Carrots Help With The Renewal?

Thanks Phoebe for pointing that fact out on the grapes. Guess I'll have to acquire a taste now for red grapes. Wish I could eat the tomatoes, but I have gerd, which I'm finally getting under control now. If you hear of anything else that's good, let me/us know!

Deda, Did you find that your Gerd bothered your throat? If so, how? ALso, did you have Gerd before you stopped smking or did it dev after? I now have some reflux and really didn't before I quit. Phoebe
