Some of the factors that may make you susceptible to asthma are:
Genetic: If several of your family members suffer from Asthma then you too might be genetically pre-disposed to develop Asthma.
If you are overweight
If you are exposed to seasonal allergens like pollen.
If you are a smoker or exposed to second-hand smoke.
If you are allergic to certain foods or synthetic food additives like colours and preservative
There is no cure for asthma and the treatments revolve around reducing symptoms and the chances for a fresh asthma attack.
Foods for Asthma Patients
An asthma patient should try and switch from animal protein to plant protein and eat ginger and turmeric regularly. The patient should also avoid fried food, smoking, alcohol, cheese, food additives, processed foods and focus on an organic food diet. But that doesn't mean you can't live a normal life, you just need to be a little more cautious than the others. Have an optimistic approach and live your life to the fullest.
According to Dr. Pushpa of Saini Yoga and Meditation, an asthma patient should do steam inhalation every day, take half a tsp of cinnamon powder twice a day and avoid cold fruits like orange and banana.
Breathing exercises or pranayam should be done very cautiously. It is very common for patients of asthma in our country to go for self-treatment in the form of pranayam," Dr Meshram told reporters here. In fact, Pranayam is not a treatment for asthma but yes it can be used as a supportive therapy
