Research shows that having healthy eating habits and reducing the consumption of processed and ultra-processed foods helps improve cardiovascular health and prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). But what does food "processing" actually mean, and what effect does it have on caloric intake and the microbiome? We answer these questions and more in our recent PCNA News article. https://loom.ly/zLa0vkU

The Potential Impact of Food Habits on Pulmonary Diseases 🍿 Pulmonary diseases, such as asthma and chronic bronchitis, can be influenced by various factors, including environmental triggers and lifestyle choices. While environmental triggers are well-known, some individuals claim that certain foods, including dairy products and tropical fruits, can worsen their respiratory symptoms. Additionally, a diet high in processed and fried foods, as well as excessive salt intake, may contribute to inflammation and exacerbate symptoms in individuals with pulmonary diseases. In this article, we will explore these claims and their potential impact on respiratory health. 1. Dairy Products and Pulmonary Symptoms 🧈: Some individuals with pulmonary diseases report that consuming dairy products, such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, can worsen their respiratory symptoms. It is believed that the proteins and fats in dairy may contribute to increased mucus production and inflammation in the airways. However, it is important to note that this response varies among individuals, and not everyone experiences these effects. Consulting with a healthcare professional is recommended to determine personalized dietary guidelines. Another claim made by some individuals is that certain tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, and papaya can trigger their pulmonary symptoms. While the scientific evidence supporting this claim is limited, it is possible that the natural compounds found in these fruits may act as irritants for some individuals. 2. Processed and Fried Foods 🍟: A diet high in processed and fried foods, including fast food, chips, and deep-fried snacks, has been associated with increased inflammation in the body. For individuals with pulmonary diseases, this inflammation can potentially worsen respiratory symptoms. Therefore, it is advisable to limit the consumption of these foods and opt for healthier alternatives, such as whole, unprocessed foods. 3.Salt and Sodium Intake🧂: Excessive intake of salt and sodium-rich foods can lead to fluid retention and increased blood pressure. In individuals with pulmonary diseases, this can put additional strain on the heart and lungs, potentially exacerbating respiratory symptoms. Monitoring salt intake and choosing low-sodium alternatives can help manage these risks and support overall respiratory health. #hyderabadpulmonologist #pulmonology #pulmonologyhealth #pulmonologyadvisor #clinical #patientcare #copdawareness #hyderabadpulmonologist #healthtips

Weight Gain: o Higher in calories and fats, leading to weight gain and an increased risk of obesity if consumed in excess. 3.Chronic Disease: • High consumption of red and processed meats is linked to increased risks of cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases #dietplan #plantbasedfood #animaldiet #diet #weightlossjourney #weightloss #tips #nutritioncoach #trendingreels #reelsinstagram #viralvideochallenge #viralreelsfbpage
