By eating Pistachios you are reducing your risk by halve! Pistachios are uniquely rich in gamma-tocopherol a form of vitamin E that helps protect and speed healing of the lung tissues. Eating just two ounces of these nuts daily could cut your risk of lung cancer as much a fifty percent. Worried that nuts cause weight gain? Do not be these nuts do not make you gain weight thanks to the abundance of appetite dampening essential fatty acids and minerals in pistachios.

Eating an apple a day works so well at squashing damaging inflammation in lung tissue that this one move can reduce your cancer risk as much as sixty percent. That is correct sixty percent. Yet many of us are lucky we eat one apple a week. Majority of the problem is that apples are hard to eat so here is a solution by sipping an eight ounces glass of apple cider daily instead. Unlike apple juice the cider is made using the apple skins and that is where the lung protective flavoniods are found.

They say aspirin is good for the heart but is also good for lungs too. By taking four regular strength aspirin weekly can send your risk of most common type of lung cancer plunging by forty-one percent even if you smoke! Aspirin works its magic by slowing the blood flow to abnormal cells which starves them of the oxygen and nutrients they need to grow and speeding the death of even full-blown tumor cells. Note: Important some conditions such as bleeding or clotting disorder may make aspirin therapy in appropriate for you so ask your doctor first. If you cannot stomach aspirin try eating half cup of butternut squash, sweet potatoes, carrots or oranges daily or even orange juice. They are packed with antioxidants that also have the power to stall the growth of abnormal cells in the lungs.

Who would have thought salsa would have this kind of power! Salsa is a great source of lycopene which is an antioxidant that quickly soaks into lung tissues and shields it from airborne pollutants by lowering your lung cancer risk by twenty eight percent. Tomato juice, spaghetti sauce and other cooked tomatoes products are also great sources. If you prefer fruit then stock up on red grapefruit and watermelon which are rich in this lung protecting nutrient. You only need half a cup daily.

Here is the last one is green tea.  Many smokers are founding out that sipping green tea at least one cup daily were five times less likely to developed lung cancer than those who did not drink green tea. Green tea is packed with flavoniods, catechins, and polyphenols, three groups of compounds with powerful anticancer properties. If you do not like the flavor try hiding it in your favorite brew by tossing a couple of green tea bags into a filter when you are brewing a pot of coffee or black tea. The green tea flavor will disappear but the protective qualities will still be there.

Here are other double duty cancer fighters to keep in mind. They are soy foods such as tofu and soy nuts, flaxseeds, legumes including peanuts, chickpeas and beans and last but not least spinach.
