Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a deadly progressive lung disease. More than 3 million people die from COPD every year! But most COPD cases are preventable! And even its progression can be halted! Let's look at causes of COPD besides smoking!

More than 80% of COPD cases are caused by smoking. One way smoking damages your lungs is via the inhalation of nitric oxide, which turns into nitrite in the lungs. This nitrite damages your lung tissue! Nitrite is also found in cured meat. And indeed, cured meat intake, even in small amounts, significantly increases the risk for COPD!

To preserve lung function and to fight against the oxidative stress caused by smoking, air polluation, volatile chemicals, etc. you can build up your antioxidant defence in your lungs - by eating lots of fruits and vegetables! What you eat plays a major role in the causes of COPD besides smoking!
