Functional Food and dietary supplements For Lung Health
Conclusions This plant metabolites benefits lung health by anti-inflammatory, immune-modulatory, and antioxidant effects. Many pungent flavor components in edible plants activate the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract to help fight microbes and remove undesirable agents. These flavor and aroma compounds can behave as expectorants, decongestant, antitussive, and antimicrobial agents. They enhance mucous membrane secretion, kill pathogens, reduce inflammation and decrease mucous viscosity by weakening the hydrogen bonds in the mucous. For lung cancer, certain plant metabolites help induce apoptosis, suppress angiogene...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Abstract The global prevalence of physiologically defined chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults aged >40 yr is approximately 9-10 per cent. Recently, the Indian Study on Epidemiology of Asthma, Respiratory Symptoms and Chronic Bronchitis in Adults had shown that the overall prevalence of chronic bronchitis in adults >35 yr is 3.49 per cent. The development of COPD is multifactorial and the risk factors of COPD include genetic and environmental factors. Pathological changes in COPD are observed in central airways, small airways and alveolar space. The proposed pathogenesis of COPD includes pr...
