| Question: | what' s the nutritional solution for asthma? |
| Answer: | Asthma is caused by inflammation, and this means that your body is in a state of ' alarm' because of an overload of harmful factors. These usually include pollution, food allergies, inhalant allergies and stress. The most common food allergies are to dairy products and wheat, and it' s worth avoiding these for 10 days to see if that makes a difference. Any additional burden on the body' s immune system could tip the scales over into asthma, which is probably why triple vaccines, which are like having three infections at once, can increase the risk of developing the condition.
In addition to decreasing your total load of such factors, certain nutrients and herbs help to calm down the inflammation that constricts the air passages in the lungs. These include vitamin C (2g a day), magnesium (300mg a day), omega-3 fish oils (1,000mg a day) and the herbs curcumin, boswellia and ginger. |
