About This Condition

Love those lungs by protecting them from one of the most common kinds of cancer. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.
  • Fill up on fruits and veggies

    Lower your risk of lung cancer by eating more foods high in anticancer substances, such as flavonoids, beta-carotene, and lycopene

  • Choose your meat and fish carefully

    Eat more healthy fish to lower your risk, and avoid fried, fatty, or well-done meat to avoid meat-related carcinogens

  • Say good-bye to smoking

    Kick the habit for good and steer clear of secondhand smoke, two of the leading causes of lung cancer

  • Benefit from B-vitamins

    10,000 mcg a day of folic acid with a doctor's supervision and 500 mcg a day of vitamin B12 may help improve precancerous changes in some smokers' lungs
