If you have had a persistent cough and nothing seems to help, try eating more fiber. A new study at the University of California at Davis suggests fiber may help protect the lungs from ailments like a cough with phlegm.
The study of 44,000 people found that people who ate the most fiber had the lowest rate of problems like a productive cough.
Fiber-rich foods like apples, pears and soy products appeared to have the biggest lung protecting benefits.
Researchers believe the protective benefit comes from specific antioxidants called flavonoids in these foods.
