Diet Tips to Control Asthama Attacks

Asthma is a chronic lung condition that leads to episodes of airway obstruction; most of the time, such obstruction is reversible. Asthma includes airway narrowing, inflammation of the airways, and spasm of the airways. Diet modification alone cannot cure asthma, but the addition of certain food items to the diet may help control the symptoms and reduce the frequency and severity of the asthma attack by generally maintaining lung health, reducing inflammation, and building up immunity.

 Each type of food item listed below can be helpful in the following way:

DIET FOR ASTHAMA PAITENT:-

 

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES :-

Apples, Mangoes, Strawberries, Cherries, Onions, Peppers, Broccoli, Spinach, papaya, Avocado,  and Pomegranate:

These fruits and vegetables are packed with antioxidants and all sorts of vitamins and minerals that can help in reducing inflammation in the airways. For example, apples and strawberries are very good sources of quercetin, a kind of flavonoid that acts as an antihistamine in nature and has been used to reduce allergic reactions.

 

Green leafy vegetables, like spinach and fenugreek, are packed with magnesium, a mineral that relaxes airway muscles, improving breathing easily. Avocados are a powerhouse of a strong substance, glutathione, that protects cells from free radical damage.

 

NUTS AND SEEDS :-

It can be taken from nuts, such as almonds and walnuts, and seeds, including sunflower seeds; vitamin E has anti-inflammatory properties that will reduce asthma symptoms, including coughing and wheezing.

 

WHOLE GRAINS :-

Whole grains like oats, brown rice, and quinoa are helpful in reducing asthma symptoms by ensuring a healthy weight. An overweight condition may worsen the symptoms of asthma; therefore, fiber-rich foods will manage the weight as well as ensure the lungs are healthy in general.

 

GINGER :-

   Ginger contains anti-inflammatory properties that aid in soothing the muscles of the airways, hence reducing bronchoconstriction. This spice may also enhance the action of asthma medications.

 

TURMERIC :-

    Turmeric contains the active compound curcumin, which is a strong anti-inflammatory spice, hence very useful in minimizing inflammation within the airways. This will eventually cut down asthma attacks or alleviate the symptoms associated with an asthma attack.

 

POMEGRANATE :-

    Pomegranate contains antioxidants such as polyphenols, which help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation within the respiratory system. This can prevent the occurrence or reduce the severity of asthma symptoms.

 

VITAMIN D-RICH FOODS:-

    Vitamin D is important for regulating the immune system. Its deficiency is associated with increased symptoms of asthma. Fatty fish  and egg yolk can provide vitamin D. Food rich in Vitamin D helps in lowering inflammation and improving lung functions.

 

SWEET POTATOES :-

    Sweet potatoes are rich in potassium, which helps in improving lung health. Potassium is one of the major mineral elements in your body that keeps your lungs functioning normally and preventing airways from narrowing.

 

VITAMIN E-RICH FOODS:-

   Nuts, Mustard Greens, Broccoli.

     Vitamin E is another antioxidant effective against an inflammatory reaction in the airways that reduces oxidative stress in the lungs and may improve breathing.

 

GARLIC WATER 

The compound provides anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action on the body, which may help reduce congestion in the lungs. Thus, it is believed that drinking garlic water may help the lungs to clear mucus out and subsequently reduce the severity of asthma symptoms. Add 3-4 crushed cloves of garlic to a glass of water and boil until the water is reduced to half. Let it cool down for 5 minutes and drink.

 

FOOD’S TO AVOID IN ASTHAMA :-

 

Individuals experiencing asthma will most probably avoid those foods that may trigger an attack of their symptoms and may include the following:

 

Food containing sulfites– This may contain dried fruits, wine, beer, packaged potatoes, shrimp, pickled foods, and lime and lemon juice in bottles. Sulfites are one class of preservatives affecting the induction of asthma in a person.

 

Processed foods – Preservatives, artificial coloring, and flavors are often contained in them that act as triggers for asthma.

 

Dairy and its products: these would further enhance the production of mucus in certain individuals and may lead to the aggravation of asthmatic symptoms. 

 

Foods containing artificial additives : these include artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and flavor enhancers.

 

Alcohol: in some, alcohol may trigger an asthma attack. 

 

Beans: foods containing beans can cause bloating thereby making respiration difficult. 

 

Fried foods: fried foods may initiate attacks.

 

Carbonated beverages: these can also initiate attacks.

 

Beans: Well, this is all because of the gas they can generate in some individuals’ systems, which can swell one’s belly and make breathing a bit more difficult. It might even cause asthma.
