It is essential to reduce the accumulation in the lungs of people who systematically abuse cigarettes, the substance sulforaphane, according to studies. It is distinguished by the ability to re-trigger or accelerate the activity of macrophages.

Namely macrophages most dependent lung condition because they are white blood cells that care for the elimination of bacteria and particles emitted by them, which are superimposed on the bodies of the respiratory system and impede their activities.

In humans, smoking a long period of time or a day number of cigarettes smoked large, the activity of macrophages is extremely difficult.

Harmful substances and chemicals that penetrate the lungs with cigarette smoke impair the functioning of the system of which depends on the activity of white blood cells and thus cleansing the lungs.

Such a state is observed in patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

However, when a smoker consumes broccoli fairly regularly, he procure considerable amounts of sulforaphane.

Thus stimulate natural processes associated with cleansing the lungs, and maintained a good level functioning.

Researchers from Baltimore Sulforaphane can be successfully applied in the treatment of many pulmonary diseases.
