Most people with asthma have never been told that what they eat affects the amount of inflammation or symptoms that they experience. This is a new thought. Many of our clients with asthma that follow a diet low in processed carbohydrates, which means eliminating breads and pastas, experience a major reduction in symptoms and are often able to decrease medication usage.

 

Adults and children with asthma benefit when they eliminate trans fats (partially-hydrogenated or hydrogenated oils) and consume a diet higher in beneficial fats (avocados, olives, nuts and butter) and quality proteins. The most effective strategy seems to be following an individual eating plan created by a nutritionist that understands which foods reduce inflammation.

Nutritional Weight & Wellness helps people of all ages develop eating plans that address their specific health needs, along with their preferences and lifestyles. 

 

Before giving up the activities that you love, consider adding nutritional therapy to your asthma management plan.  You may be amazed at what a difference it can make in your quality of life.
