Introduction: As the incidence of lung cancer increases year by year, people have paid more attention to its prevention methods. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that eating "white foods" often has the effect of clearing and moistening the lungs. In addition to common lung-clearing treasures such as honey, snow pears, and pomelos, the following is a detailed list of other white foods suitable for lung nourishment in spring.
Chinese Yam: The special nutrition of "mucin protein"
Chinese yam contains a large amount of starch and protein, as well as vitamins, fat, choline, and other ingredients. It also contains a mixture of polysaccharide and protein called "mucin protein", which has a special health-care effect on the human body, nourishing the spleen and stomach, and benefiting the lungs and kidneys. A bowl of Chinese yam and coix seed porridge daily has a lung-nourishing effect for both men and women.

Tremella: More suitable for people with a cold constitution to nourish the lungs than snow pears
Tremella is known as the "king of fungi". It is neutral in nature, with a sweet, light, and non-toxic taste. It is not only a precious and nutritious tonic but also a strengthening medicine that supports the body's vital energy. As a white food, tremella is warmer and more moist, making it more suitable for people with a cold constitution or poor digestion than snow pears, while also having the effect of replenishing qi and clearing the intestines. Of course, it can also be stewed with snow pears to make tremella and snow pear soup.
White Radish: The "mustard oil" in it relieves coughs and reduces phlegm
White radish contains glucose, sucrose, fructose, vitamin C, and glucoraphenin. The mustard oil, amylase, and crude fiber in it have the effects of promoting digestion, enhancing appetite, and relieving coughs and reducing phlegm. For example, milk and radish soup is an excellent tonic for clearing the lungs.

Soy Milk: "Methionine" relieves bronchitis
Soy milk is very nutritious, and the methionine it contains can prevent smooth muscle spasms in the bronchi, thereby relieving bronchitis and reducing the burden on the lungs. It should be noted that soy milk must be boiled at 100°C before drinking to prevent poisoning. Do not drink it on an empty stomach, do not store it in a thermos, do not drink too much at once, and do not take it with medication.
