How A Change In Diet

May Alleviate Asthma

It is widely believed that there is no cure for Asthma however with the

escalating increase in the number of patients suffering from this

respiratory disorder, suffice it to say that it is becoming very important

that we find a lasting and truly beneficial solution to deal with the

problem.

The comforting news for whoever may be reading this is, coming from a

former Asthma patient, I can say with confidence that it is very likely

that a bulk of the solution may lie in changing your diet.

But it comes with a price, which may not really be that much to pay

considering the benefits to be gained.

That said, honestly the first thing you may have to do is give up all

processed foods and animal products such as meat, milk, eggs and the

like from your diet.

For validation of this fact, you can always do a search on the "Breath

Retaining Program For Asthmatics" developed by the Russian, Dr.

Buteyko on Google or any search engine and you will that this simple,

albeit important change in dietetic lifestyles is one of the main factors in

the program.

It is noteworthy of mention that within a few months of adhering to this

advice, many asthma patients have been said to become, quite simply

FORMER asthma patients, or at least patients who have the disorder

under better and more effective control than with using conventional

drugs.

The secret to this being so effective may lie in the fact that all of the

items such as animal products, most grains and ALL processed foods are

mucus forming, NOT fit for human consumption and could be

detrimental in the long run to the our health.

For Asthma in particular, such foods tend to all the more worsen an

already injurious situation in your respiratory tract.

So what are the alternatives that could be looked into?

Quite simply, you will want to consume food items that have an opposite

effect on the body. If the afore-mentioned items are mucus and disease

forming, then you should want to go for the foods that remove mucus

and disease. These are your raw (or properly cooked) fruits, root and

leafy vegetables.

Now, although this will definitely go a long way in the overall

improvement of health, arguably about 60-70% of the battle, for asthma

specifically, some other simple steps to curb the effect of Asthma in

your life are to:

1. Steer clear of drastic temperature changes in your home.

2. Try to keep a neat home, office or otherwise designated area as the

case may be.

3. Use a humidifier and a heater in the cold seasons.

4. Keep fresh air circulating as much as possible in the home.

5. Use a shower filter to remove the harmful chlorine fumes in the hot

water and use Fragrance-Free, Hypo-Allergenic Shampoos and Facial

Bar Soaps.
