Madeira Nutrition and Breathing Anyone who experiences the symptoms associated with COPD (Chronjc Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. -- things like asthma, emphysema and chronic bronchitis) might benefit from eating more Vitamin C and magnesium-rich foods and supplements. Studies have shown that lung function deteriorates for all of us as we age, making us more susceptible to predatory viruses that cause pneumonia and other respiratory complications like dyspnoea (difficulty with breathing or catching your breath). Fortunately, there are dietary nutrients that support healthy lung function. A 1991 study that surveyed more than 2,500 subjects to assess the relationship between diet and COPD. Nine years later half of the original group participated in a follow-up survey. Researchers reached two important conclusions: 1). Subjects who consumed higher amounts of Vitamin C had better lung function; 2) Higher Vitamin C and magnesium significantly improved lung function in COPD. The researchers didn’t offer a recommendation about the dosage level of vitamin C and magnesium required to reap the protective benefits, but the study indicates that the average participant in the survey was not supplementing with mega- doses. So make sure to eat 5 servings of Vitamin C rich foods such as citrus fruits, berries, kiwi, melons, green peppers, broccoli, kale and cauliflower everyday. For magnesium try nuts, legumes, meats, dark green vegetables and dairy. A whole food vitamin supplement will fill in for the days you don’t get your “S-a-day.” For more natural strategies for dealing with your symptoms, please call for an appointment. “Helping you feel better and achieve more through Chiropractic” Twin Stacks Center 1172 Memorial Hwy ¢ Dallas 570-675-4773 ¢ ww Stephen Homza CTT ToT VAT B od =X Te [1 4114 RGIENTa EY [To RF: TE=To [Tg Jackson Twp. taxes due Face value will end June 28 for Jackson Township property tax- es.
