Understanding How to Get Rid of Asthma - Avoid Asthma Triggers

Understanding How to Get Rid of Asthma - Avoid Asthma Triggers

by Megan Richards

Understand how to avoid asthma triggers and get rid of Asthma once and for all. Avoid all dairy products, wheat, egg, chocolate, fish, alcohol (wine and lager in particular because of additives) vinegar, caffeine (tea, coffee, colas, chocolate), refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, salt and anything containing chemical additives - MSG, sulfur dioxide, sodium benzoate, sodium sulfite, tartrazine, etc. Pale colored dried fruit is preserved in sulfur to keep its color.

Sulfating agents are commonly used in beer and to keep greens fresh in salad bars. Sulfur dioxide is found in most wines but, generally speaking, there is less of it in bottled wine than in boxed wine. Drugs or medication (remove only with medical supervision), onion, garlic, kale, cabbage, radish, watercress. Aspirin can precipitate an asthma attack.

Sodium sulfite as found on red meat (to keep it fresh looking), light colored dried fruit, dressings, beer and wine, often causes asthma. Sodium benzoate is a preservative found in margarine, sauces, cool drinks and some dried fruits. This particular preservative causes respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis.

Dust mite droppings in the air after vacuuming, which can take hours to settle. The Baxi Clean Air System claims to starve dust mites by reducing air humidity.

Constipation. Pressure from the tummy area affects breathing. That, together with the effect of toxic build-up in the colon, demands action. Poor digestion is common with asthma. Eat little and often so that the digestive tract does not get clogged up. Nuts can have an inflating effect on the system of an asthmatic.

Tartrazine (a food colorant banned in some countries) is openly accused of creating allergic reactions including asthma, migraine headaches, skin rashes and hyperactivity in children.

Chlorine is said to contribute to asthma attacks. Since all our drinking water has been chlorinated you may wish to use a water purifier. There are some excellent ones on the market. Personally, I am happy with the Brita jug which is relatively inexpensive with a proven record. There are more costly purifiers that screw on to your tap and, if asthma is in your family, that may be your better choice. Pet fur, feathers, cigarette smoke, household chemicals, fumes, etc., are best avoided.

I recently came across an excellent book called Cure You Asthma In Just One Week written by Karon Beattie - it's well worth reading. Take a look...
