British researchers did a breathing study to 2, 512 males range from 45-59 years old in order to figure out how much air these individuals can exhale every second. Researchers did an analysis based on these individuals ways of living, diet habit and sickness records. They performed the same test after five years. The result shows males who eat lots of apples have better lungs function when compared to males who don*t eat apples. Males who love to eat apples have a greater lung capacity of 138 ml. Although apples have such great effect, they can not prevent lung function from weakening.
