Tomatoes
A study on asthmatic people found that taking tomato extract or drinking tomato juice on a regular basis can improve lung function while reducing asthma symptoms. The researchers think that an antioxidant is responsible for that. The antioxidant called lycopene could be behind all these health benefits.
Another study points out that tomatoes can restore lung damage caused by smoking. The findings are incredible, but not all tomatoes are good for you. Try to stick to fresh tomatoes rather than canned ones. Canned tomatoes often pack lots of salt, so if buying fresh tomatoes is not an option for you, at least read the labels carefully.
