Do you know of anyone that has asthma?
Possibly you or your children are bothered with Asthma. There is
help and treatment for asthma. Getting the right treatment is
critical.
Doe you have any of the asthma symptoms
that I have listed in this article? Do any of them them sound
familiar? Then you might want to visit your doctor to be sure that
you do not have Asthma.
Asthma Symptoms
Asthma is serious. According to the
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Asthma is a chronic lung
disease. You may experience periods of wheezing, chest tightness,
shortness of breath, and coughing. They further add it affects
people of all ages and may happen during the morning or during the
night.
Asthma Triggers
Did you know that colds, flu, or sinus
infection can trigger asthma flare-ups? Also, according to The
American Lung Association animals, pests, mold, and exercise can
trigger asthma. It is important to know what triggers your
children's asthma. Knowing this can be a big key to managing asthma.
This is great that it is manageable.
Obesity in Children
Obesity appears to reduce the
effectiveness of inhaled steroids according to Huffingtonpost.com.
They further add that obesity makes the lungs' airways dysfunctional
and reduces the ability for the lungs to stay open, but it should not
be an excuse to avoid exercise because even Olympic athletes suffer
from asthma. Again, I say a key importance is that Asthma can be
managed.
Asthma Friendly Home
Have you ever heard of an Asthma
Friendly Home? Lovechicliving.co.uk talks about keeping your home
well-ventilated and dark oak flooring as opposed to carpet. I know
many of us probably just love carptet, but they suggest that carpet
may bring dust which could be dangerous for those that are asthmatic.
Yogurt
Did you know that a cup of Yogurt may
alleviate the symptoms of Asthma? According to Howstuffworks.com the
current RDA (Recommended dietary allowance) for vitamin B12 can be
found in a cup of yogurt.
Remember Asthma can be managed with the
right care.
