Vitamin E shields lungs from smog effects Does Vitamin E shields lungs from smog effects?

Nowadays, due to the rise of the concentrations of ozone, many people develop a shortness of breath, wheezing or other forms of respiratory discomfort. Due to this, Researchers at the New England Journal of Medicine show that due to chronic exposure to ozone increases the risks of dying due to lung diseases. However, Diet can affect how your lungs respond to the environment and we could prevent this by consuming more of foods rich in Vitamin E . Thus, people has to consume between 0.7 and 2 grams gamma-tocopherol per day but drinks and food that are rich in Vitamin E like soybean oil, contains 80 milligrams per 100 grams of oil. So, if people were to consume a gram of gamma-tocopherol a day, they would probably need to consume dietary supplements.

After reading this article, i found out that we could prevent the risks of us getting lung diseases by consuming more of this 'gamma-tocopherol' contained in Vitamin E. However, there are after effects of this 'gamma-tocopherol' which might make you grow fat if u do not work out regularly. So, if u want to prevent yourself from having lung diseases in the future, consume more of foods rich in Vitamin E ! But most importantly, remember to watch your diet !
