With the continuous improvement of living standards, more and more bad habits in people's lives, but many people do not realize the stakes, many bad life, dietary habits may be quietly sick, such as lung nodules.
China's overall incidence of lung nodules, currently about 10% to 20%, the incidence of people over forty years of age to be a little higher, lung nodules is not a malignant tumor of the lungs, the common cause of lung infections, tuberculosis, old lesions or pulmonary nodular disease, and even more than 90% of the cases belong to the benign, the chances of malignancy is only 1% ~ 2%.
Predisposing Factors of Lung Nodules
1. Infection
Most of the benign lung nodules are due to inflammation. The air we inhale into our bodies is first filtered through the lungs, so the lungs are easily infected by bacteria and viruses.
Although the lungs have a self-detoxification mechanism, multiple infections over a long period of time are prone to inflammation, which can lead to lung nodules over time.
2, often smoking
Cigarettes are harmful to the body, cigarettes in the combustion process will produce more than a hundred kinds of harmful substances, the first infringement is our lungs.
The nicotine in cigarettes enters the respiratory tract and causes damage to the cilia of the lungs, the lungs gradually become darker, lowering lung function and easily inducing pulmonary nodules.
3, allergic diseases
If you have allergic diseases, such as chronic allergies, alveolar inflammation, etc., this will form diffuse pulmonary nodules in the lungs.
4, the working environment
We are in the working environment for the lungs is also very big, for example, we are engaged in some long-term chemical industry and so on, the harmful substances may infringe on our lungs. For example, if you are a teacher, inhaling dust for a long time will greatly increase your chances of developing lung nodules.
If you want to improve the lung nodules early, before it's too late, you should first adjust your diet, develop good habits, eat a light diet, less oil, less salt, and eat more food that is good for the nodules to dissipate.
Eggplant is a summer seasonal vegetable, men and women love to eat, soft taste, but now there is a saying: patients with pulmonary nodules can not eat eggplant, this statement has a scientific basis? Let's find out below.
Eggplant is a kind of loose to do empty food, cooking, especially absorb oil, so we like to eat most of the fried or stir-fried these two ways to produce out of the oil content is very high.
Often eat this kind of eggplant tends to lead to blood thickening, and even increase the fat content in the body, leading to lung nodules more and more serious, therefore, it is recommended that people with lung nodules can eat eggplants, but must pay attention to the cooking method, it is best to choose steamed.
1, flower family vegetables
Eating more vegetables in daily life can provide energy and vitamins to the human organs, but not all vegetables can be eaten more, such as quark vegetables.
These vegetables contain substances that can trigger the body to produce hormones, and excessive levels of these hormones can lead to lung nodules. Cauliflower is a common flower vegetable that people with lung nodules try not to eat.
2, raw cold cold things
Now although it has entered the fall, but the noon is still relatively hot, many people like to drink cold drinks, or eat ice cream, these foods are certainly delicious, but the intake of human body will lead to the nerve function of the stimulation of a certain amount of time, and even cause the body to lesions.
People who often eat cold and cold things, the lung nodules may occur some serious lesions, hope that we should still reduce the intake of more warm food, more help to protect the lungs health to reduce the lung nodule stimulation.
1, carrots
Many people have different symptoms of lung nodules, you can eat some carrots, carrots are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin A can effectively maintain the normal function of our respiratory epithelial tissues, and can effectively alleviate the coughing symptoms caused by the lung nodules, with the same effect of tomatoes, can eat some. You can also eat some of them.
2, yam
If you have lung nodules can eat some yam, yam is rich in nutrients, can effectively protect the health of the lungs, and yam is rich in free amino acids inside the mucus eat yam is also conducive to dissipation of nodules.
There are many ways to eat yam, you can directly fry and eat, you can also eat boiled, choose a way you like, eat more yam can remove the lung nodules.
3, bamboo shoots
Bamboo shoots are rich in vitamin B, as well as calcium, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements, eat more bamboo shoots not only to supplement the nutrition, but also bamboo shoots are rich in water, can be for the lung nodules to replenish the water, is conducive to the dilution of phlegm, to promote the phlegm, to play a phlegm effect.
This is also very important for lung nodule patients, lung nodule patients should drink more water on a daily basis, which is also very beneficial to the body.
Often open the window to ventilate the air
In daily life to maintain the function of the lungs, it is necessary to open the window regularly to ventilate the air, if the indoor air does not circulate, it will accumulate a large number of dirty gases, and these dirty gases will also cause damage to the human body's lungs, in the body of the breeding of bacteria and a large number of reproduction.
So, whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter must regularly open the window ventilation, can effectively avoid respiratory diseases.
Minimize air conditioning
The air conditioning belongs to the family in the dirt place, long-term air circulation will make the air conditioning inside the accumulation of a lot of dust, these dust PM2.5 particles, fungi, bacteria and pathogenic microorganisms, etc., when blowing the air conditioning may lead to the inhalation of these toxic substances in the human body, caused by coughing and asthma, and so on. The first step is to make sure that you have the best possible results.
Appropriate physical activity
Appropriate exercise helps the lungs to inhale more oxygen, which improves the lung's ability to resist disease, in addition to prolonged exercise, but also stimulates the nervous system and cleans the lungs. So to maintain lung function, you have to choose the right exercise method.
Quit Smoking
Long-term smoking is a bad habit, but also one of the main causes of lung disease, smoking will lead to nicotine and toxic substances invade the lungs, affecting the function of the lungs, blocking the normal respiration of the airways, so in order to maintain the function of the lungs, you must quit smoking.
Clean your house and work environment regularly
To maintain your lungs, it is important to clean your house and work environment regularly to remove dirt from the room, which will help your lungs and prevent dust and particles from clogging the airways.
Improve the respiratory function of the lungs and the function of oxygen intake, to ensure that sufficient oxygen into the lungs, when the lung function problems, should be early examination and treatment, to improve the quality of life of patients.
