PULMÕES: PIORES E OS MELHORES ALIMENTOS. (Tiago Rocha).

Summary

In this video, Tiago Rocha, a biologist and scientist, discusses the best and worst foods for lung health. He explains how certain foods, like dairy and monosodium glutamate, can worsen respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and sinusitis, while others like onions, figs, and watercress can help improve lung function. Rocha shares insights on the effects of these foods based on scientific studies and traditional uses. He also offers a guide to natural treatments for various respiratory diseases and promotes his book on natural cures.

Takeaways

• 😀 The lungs store about 5 liters of air with each breath, and it renews half a liter each time.
• 😀 The World Lung Day is celebrated on September 25, highlighting the importance of lung health.
• 😀 Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with 16 out of 110,000 men and 11 out of 110,000 women affected.
• 😀 People of African descent have a 15% higher chance of developing lung cancer compared to those of European descent.
• 😀 Milk, particularly dairy products like cheese and yogurt, should be avoided as they increase mucus production and can worsen respiratory issues like sinusitis.
• 😀 Glutamate (monosodium glutamate) found in processed foods and flavor enhancers should be avoided as it can cause bronchoconstriction and worsen asthma or bronchitis.
• 😀 Onions are great for lung health due to their antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and expectorant properties, and are especially effective when consumed raw.
• 😀 Figs are an excellent natural remedy for lung conditions, with antibacterial and antifungal properties that help combat respiratory infections.
• 😀 Watercress, known for its high content of potassium sulfate and miosin, is a powerful natural treatment for respiratory issues such as asthma and bronchitis.
• 😀 Watercress has shown scientifically proven benefits in reducing inflammation, supporting the immune system, and treating conditions like tuberculosis and pneumonia.

Q & A

What are the primary causes of lung diseases mentioned in the script?

The script mentions several lung diseases, including asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, and lung cancer. Lung cancer is highlighted as the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.

Why is milk considered harmful for the respiratory system?

Milk is considered harmful because it is mucogenic, meaning it promotes the production of mucus in the airways, from the nasal passages to the bronchi, making breathing more difficult, especially for those with respiratory issues like sinusitis.

How does monosodium glutamate (MSG) affect individuals with respiratory issues?

MSG acts as a broncho-constrictor, meaning it can narrow the airways, making it harder to breathe. It is particularly harmful to those with asthma or bronchitis.

What are the benefits of onion for the respiratory system?

Onions have anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and antibiotic properties. They help facilitate mucus elimination from the airways and can have a rapid positive effect on lung conditions such as bronchitis.

Why is raw onion more effective than cooked onion for respiratory health?

Raw onions contain sulfur compounds that are more potent and can directly affect the lungs. These compounds are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and go straight to the lungs, providing immediate benefits.

What makes figs a beneficial food for lung health?

Figs contain compounds like siena and catechins, which have antibacterial and antifungal properties. These properties help fight bacterial infections in the lungs and improve overall respiratory health.

What is the role of watercress (agrião) in treating respiratory problems?

Watercress has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its ability to treat respiratory issues. It contains potassium sulfate, a powerful antiseptic, and miosin, which aids digestion, making it a strong ally for lung health.

What scientific studies support the effectiveness of watercress in treating lung conditions?

Studies have shown that watercress can reduce inflammation and improve the immune system's response, especially in cases of pneumonia and tuberculosis. It has been found effective both when ingested and applied topically for reducing inflammation.

What specific lung diseases can be treated using natural methods according to the script?

The script mentions over 90 natural treatments for various respiratory diseases, including asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, and even more serious conditions like tuberculosis and pneumonia.

How can someone access the manual for natural treatments mentioned in the script?

The script provides information about a manual called 'Extraordinary Cures,' which can be accessed by contacting via WhatsApp or visiting the website. The book contains detailed treatments for over 90 diseases, including those affecting the respiratory system.
