Asthma prevention:
indoor air quality is a concern, as is outdoor air pollution – even a low levels
alcohol caution
minimize dietary alkylphenols, mostly by avoiding seafood
antibiotic caution
bleach is a lung irritant – there is other alternatives
carotene – cooked with a bit of fat for best absorption
red, orange, and yellow veggies
Having a dog will lower a child’s risk of asthma, and it need not be hypoallergenic.
fish/flax/chia/walnuts/purslane, more
giving a child 100% fruit juice is inviting asthma
diverse gut microbiota – see the longevity post
minimize inflammation see inflammation below
Molds damage the lung’s protective barrier to spur future asthma attacks
lots of salad (folate)
Be slim: fat can clog lungs and airways.
a vegetarian or (better) vegan (plant-based) diet, more, more
Treating asthma
astaxanthin, ginkgo, and vitamin C
antioxidant–rich (plant-based) diet – not supplements!
astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus)
holy basil aka tulsi (Ocimum sanctum), more
CBD (in cannabis) may reduce inflammatory cytokines.
boiled carom (Trachyspermum copticum) seeds, inhale
vitamin C + magnesium (best got from diet – not pills)
catechin from green tea, fruits, and cocoa
too much chlorine in swimming pools can aggravate asthma
cloves relieves chest tightness
curcumin, more (from turmeric)
drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera)
intermittent fasting
a high-fiber diet vs. lung inflammation
fish oil but not in the obese
shown by a study of 17 partipants
shown by a study of 4162 partipants
shown by 11 studies of 99,093 partipants
ginger (Zingiber officinale)
a combination of Ginkgo biloba leaf extract + astaxanthin + vitamin C rivals ibuprofen (?)
heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB)
Too much iron can make asthma more severe.
a ketogenic diet (but don’t go extreme)
avoid consuming milk, cheese, etc.
mullein (a common weed), and no milk.
obesity can exacerbate asthma
a plant-based diet: whole fruits and veggies
a “western diet” is pro-inflammatory – will worsen asthma
pycnogenol (grape seed extract is close and a lot less expensive)
reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum)
a low-salt diet
sulforphane – the best source is broccoli sprouts
tiotropium (heart drug)
