Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Eat foods rich in potassium, such as tomatoes, bananas, asparagus, oranges, potatoes, avocados, dark leafy greens, and beetroot. Potassium is important for lung function, and a deficiency may cause breathing problems.
- Drink plenty of fluids as it thins mucus and makes it easier to cough out.
- Avoid foods such as cabbage, beans, garlic, onions, shrimp, pickled food, dried fruits, fried foods, carbonated drinks, wine, and bottled lemon and lime juice, as they may worsen asthma symptoms.
- Exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system.
- Learn breathing exercises, as it helps you move more air in and out of your lungs.
- Do meditation, deep breathing, and regular exercise, and try progressive muscle relaxation techniques to get relief from stress and reduce the risk of an asthma attack.
- Quit smoking, as it may irritate the lungs or worsen breathing problems.
