Consuming fruit regularly could help protect lungs from the damaging effects of air pollution, new findings suggest. The benefit becomes particularly effective when people eat four or more portions of fruit everyday – whether it’s apples, oranges or pears. Analysing data from over 200,000 participants, scientists at the University of Leicester have assessed the connection between dietary habits and lung function in areas with varying air pollution levels.The research focused on how fruit consumption might counteract the harmful impact of fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5, which is released by vehicles and industrial facilities.Women tend to experience this benefit from…
