When we think about bad breathing we usually think of cigarettes and other infamous things that harm the lungs but have you ever thought that what you sometimes eat for breakfast could destroy your lungs? A new study shows that bacon is high in nitres which can harm a persons lungs and breathing.
The study showed that people who eat bacon 14 times or more in a month were twice as likely to develop Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. The condition known as COPD refers to a number of breathing diseases and respiratory issues.
Chronic bronchitis is when the airways of the patient are tightened and obstructed by mucus which in turn causes labored breathing. Sound like fun, eh? Well, it gets worse! COPD can also lead to the notorious condition known as Emphysema. Emphysema is when tiny air sacks known as alveoli in a persons lungs are damaged. The sacks become overstretched and old air gets trapped in them which does not permit new fresh air into the lungs.
