A specialist named useful products for bronchial asthma for children and adults.
You can relieve the symptoms of bronchial asthma not only with the help of medications, but also with a special diet.
Need vitamins
People suffering from asthma should adhere to a diet high in vitamins C and E, D, beta-carotene, flavonoids, magnesium, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids, says general practitioner, allergist-immunologist Natalya Svetlakova. This is due to the fact that these substances are antioxidants that protect cells from damage.
The Mediterranean diet helps well with asthma – it has an anti-inflammatory effect, is rich in vitamins, minerals, and contains a large amount of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
The doctor noted that with bronchial asthma, the immunity of the body that does not receive nutrients weakens, it becomes more susceptible to disease. As a result, he finds it increasingly difficult to fight off respiratory viruses that often trigger asthma attacks.
Foods that should be in the diet of an asthmatic
For meat, the doctor recommended veal, rabbit, beef, turkey and beef liver.
Be sure to eat boiled river fish.
Healthy grains include: oatmeal, buckwheat, pearl barley, rice, lentils, millet, and pasta.
The vegetable menu should consist of carrots, zucchini, potatoes, cabbage, onions, eggplants, beets and various greens.
If you like dairy products, then, of course, anything that saturates the body with calcium: cottage cheese, fermented baked milk, kefir, yogurt, cheeses.
Fruits and berries: bananas, pears, pineapples, watermelons, blueberries, apples and plums.
Olive and sunflower oil.
For severe asthma, Svetlakova recommended taking vitamin D. It will help maintain a healthy immune system and reduce inflammation in the airways.
