The term multiple benefits of broccoli as a food, it seems indisputable. A new study reveals, these vegetables contain nutrients that are effective for respiratory health.
Experts from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, USA, through its research, expressed a similar substance in broccoli may reduce cell damage that triggers the onset of severe lung disease. Substance called sulforapane has been shown to increase levels of NRF2 protein in lung cells and provide protection to the cells at risk of damage from toxins and poisons
The report was published in the Journal American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, researchers found that concentrations of NRF2 was significantly lower in smokers who live with lung disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). NRF2 gene plays an important role in restoring and activating a number of important mechanisms that remove toxins and pollutants that can damage cells.
In laboratory tests, a team of researchers led by Dr. Shyam Biswal sulforapane shown that restoring and enhancing NRF2 levels are reduced in the cell was exposed to cigarette smoke. Increased levels of NRF2 sulforapane through the provision, it is believed will lead to the creation of a therapeutic treatment and prevention of COPD.
COPD is a chronic disease with symptoms of personal protective equipment for respiratory tract, including shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and contains a lot of mucus. This interferes with lung function and reduces respiratory system and can lead to respiratory and cardiac complications.
If ignored without checking that the disease is worse AKN with age. People with COPD usually difficult to perform daily activities and often die young.
