Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal genetic disease affecting mostly the lung in children and young adults, leading to difficulty breathing and coughing up mucus due to frequent lung infections.
However, the condition has also been found in the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine.
According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry, more than 30,000 people are living with cystic fibrosis in the US.
Believe it or not, most cases of CF are diagnosed by age 2.
sinus infections, poor growth, fatty stool, clubbing of the fingers and toes.
In severe cases, a lung transplant may be the only option.

And, "Life coaching is an intervention that is valued for those who feel challenged by their CF disease. Coaching programs should be designed to include the participants when they feel a need for coaching and are open to change.

β-Carotene is a phytochemical in the class of Carotenes, belonging to the group of Carotenoids (tetraterpenoids), found abundantly in dark, leafy greens and red, orange and yellow fruits and vegetable.
On finding a potential compound for the treatment of lung disease researchers examined the efficacy of oral beta-carotene supplementation for the correction of an oxidant-antioxidant imbalance in cystic fibrosis (CF).
Additionally, Levels of antioxdant enzymes were significantly increased and oxidative stress markers were decreased substantially compared to control.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "Thus oral beta-carotene supplementation is effective in the normalizing status of beta-carotene and malondialdehyde in CF patients.".
In other words, improving the circulation of the beta carotene in the blood may be potential for the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF)
Intake of lycopene in the form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
