ASTHMA
Asthma is a hypersensitivity disorder that is
characterized by airway constriction, swelling of mucus membranes,
and excessive excretion of thick mucus that causes breathing difficulty.
The severity ranging from mild wheezing to life threatening. Asthma
is associated with "triggers", either allergic (e.g. mold,
pollen, dust mites, animal dander), or non-allergic (e.g. chemical
odors, exercise, scents, additives, air pollution). Because asthma
may be life threatening it may be necessary to have emergency medications
on hand and to work with a physician.
Lifestyle and Dietary Recommendations:
- Identify allergens, and develop a lifestyle,
diet, and environment that avoid allergens
- Eliminate dogs and cats, and carpets, rugs,
upholstered furnitures and other surfaces where allergens can collect
- Make sure bedroom is as allergy proof as possible
- Clean bedding weekly
- Put sheets in dryer on high for 10 minutes
twice weekly to kill dust mites
- No stuffed toys on bed
For 8 weeks, eliminate sugar, wheat, dairy, craved
or frequently consumed foods. Reduce salt and animal fat. Consume
a diet of unrefined foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts
(if not allergic), cold-water fish and lean meats.
Emotions play a role in asthma. Consider meditation
daily.
Infection: Treat upper-respiratory infections.
Use vitamin C and magnesium for the "tickle" of a post-infection
cough.
Normalize gut bacteria with probiotics.
Exercise: Do physical activity regularly. Be aware
of triggers in our environment such as cold weather, pollens, chlorination
and pollution levels. If you have exercise-induced asthma take medication
and vitamin C prior to exercise, and stick to a low-allergen diet.
Maintain a normal weight.
Avoid aspirin and sulfites.
