One question I get asked often by my smoker friends is "can I clean up my lungs when I stop smoking"? Can I reverse the damage I have done to my lungs from smoking? The answer I'm afraid is not as simple as yes or no. First of all it depends how long and how frequently you have been smoking. Then it depends on how much damage smoking has caused your lungs already. I would advise you get an x-ray carried out to determine the extent of smoke in your lungs.
What I can say is there are proven techniques to help improve your lungs functionality. For example, incorporating cardiovascular with resistance training helps improve your lungs capacity to take in oxygen as opposed to the carbon dioxide from smoking. Vitamin D is also known to improve the lungs functions. There are also herbs you can use to aid the detox of your lungs. The herbs will speed up the process of coughing up toxins from your lungs which are filled with bacteria which can cause viruses. The key thing for you before you try anything is to give up smoking today, right now. Your lungs will immediately thank you for it.
