What Are The Best And Worst Foods For Asthma?

Like everyone else, people with asthma should eat a healthy, balanced diet that
includes plenty of fresh, unprocessed foods. Instead, people with asthma may
benefit from a balanced diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables.

In general, the optimal asthma diet includes more fresh fruits and vegetables and meals high in
antioxidants, vitamins, and magnesium. Plant-based diets that prioritize fresh fruits
and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy and meats may also assist to
prevent the development of asthma and improve symptoms.

A Mediterranean diet rich in fish, olive oil, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and
legumes has been demonstrated in studies to help lessen asthma symptoms or
prevent the disease entirely. While no single diet can cure asthma, eating complete,
nutrient-dense meals can help you maintain a healthy weight. According to
a preliminary study, a diet high in whole plant foods may be especially useful for
persons suffering from asthma.

Eating large amounts of sulfites can trigger asthma in some people. Sulfites are
preservatives used in food that can trigger asthma if consumed in large amounts.
Many types of potatoes contain sulfites, chemicals used to preserve food, but they
can cause various asthma symptoms. Sulfites have been found to cause various
asthma symptoms, from mild wheezing to potentially life-threatening asthmatic
reactions.

Foods such as garlic, cold foods such as cottage cheese or ice cream, or
lactose-based foods such as milk and dairy products, fish, junk food, and processed
foods can usually trigger asthma. The American Lung Association currently states
that people with food allergies such as dairy, nuts, wheat, or shellfish may have a
higher risk of developing asthma.

On the other hand, some foods operate as natural triggers for people who have
chronic lung disease. If you have asthma, make sure you don't have a sensitivity to
any of the items listed below.

? Peanuts
? Salt\sShellfish\sDairy\sAlcohol

Dairy and alcohol are two of the most prevalent asthma causes. Many people are
unaware that they have a dairy sensitivity, and regular alcohol drinking can induce
asthma for various reasons.
