NUTRI:FAKE DAIRY FOOD PRODUCTS THAT MAY HARM YOUR LUNG HEALTH.

BY ER TEXAS 

1. Dairy Products May Harm Lung Health.

Experts often advise people with asthma, COPD, or lung disease to lower their consumption of dairy products. As the body digests milk, cheese, and other dairy products, it produces an opioid peptide called casomorphin. During this process, the body increases phlegm and mucus production, leading to breathing difficulties for people with lung disease.

However, studies have found that some people don’t experience increased mucus while consuming milk. You should avoid dairy products if lactose intolerant since they can exacerbate asthma symptoms.

2. Foods That Contain Sulfites.

Sulfites are commonly used as preservatives and additives in foods like dried fruits, pickled items, and alcohol. They’re also found in shrimp, bottled lime and lemon juice, and maraschino cherries. Most people can consume them without a problem, but if you have asthma, it can cause an adverse reaction.

3. Foods That Have Salicylates.

Salicylates are compounds in many fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. This compound contains black tea, coffee, red wine, and beer. Finally, they’re added to various pain relievers and fever reducers, such as aspirin. Unfortunately, some people have a salicylate intolerance, which can cause symptoms like asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, and gastrointestinal irritation.
