Quit smoking : Foods that help

Orange foods: carrot, sweet potato and mango are rich in beta-carotene, which is

important for healthy lung walls.

Broccoli is rich in isothiocyanate that helps protect against lung disease. Try other

brassica veg like cabbage, kale and sprouts.

Vitamin C: cigarettes rob the body of vitamin C. Eat berries, cherries, grapefruit and

kiwis.

Antioxidants: ex-smokers need more, so aim for seven or more portions of fruit and veg a

day and eat a rainbow of colours.

Water will help flush toxins and ease food cravings. Fill a two-litre bottle every morning

and aim to drink it all by the end of the day.
