Asthma is a condition which affects millions of people across the world and is exacerbated by our modern lifestyles. In order to reduce your symptoms, you should aim to exercise regularly as this opens your lung capacity, as well as eating a balanced diet that’s low in fat, salt and sugar. Dairy has been thought to be a trigger, potentially due to the fact that it coats the inside of your chest which causes difficulty in breathing.
You should avoid triggers wherever possible, such as excessively polluted areas and too much dust – in order to reduce this in the home, you should aim to air your home as often as possible to reduce damp and potential mould, as well as vacuuming regularly to reduce dust and hair particles. Getting the right treatment for your condition is important, as an asthma attack can be fatal if not managed correctly, so you should speak to your GP if you think you might be struggling with your breathing in any way. By managing your condition, you can reduce your symptoms greatly and help to limit the risk of it overtaking your life.
