What foods are better for asthma?

Asthma is a common respiratory disease, a recognized intractable disease, and one of the current causes of death. Asthma is chronic and will recur, causing difficulty breathing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. We all know that eating proper food can alleviate the symptoms of many diseases, and of course asthma is no exception. So, what foods are better for asthma patients? Let me tell you about it now.

Suitable food

1. Selection of staple foods and beans: The calorie requirements are similar to those of normal people, and there are no special requirements. The main foods that provide calories can be eaten according to the patient's usual diet, and more soy products such as tofu can be eaten.

2. Choice of meat, eggs and milk: Due to recurrent asthma, long-term illness and physical weakness, the patient's resistance is reduced, so he should be given enough protein in the diet to meet the body's needs.

3. Choice of vegetables and fruits: It is advisable to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

4. Choice of fruit: Eating appropriate amounts of pears, citrus, loquats, walnut kernels, bananas, sesame seeds, honey, etc. can help facilitate bowel movements, reduce abdominal pressure, and prevent asthma attacks.

5. Others: Fruits rich in calcium include hawthorn and citrus, which are also high in vitamin C. Dried fruits such as almonds, melon seeds, walnuts, and hazelnuts are also rich in calcium.

Dietary taboos

1. Avoid eating foods that are too sweet or too salty. What Chinese medicine calls "sweet asthma" and "salty asthma" are caused by eating too sweet or too salty foods.

2. Avoid eating irritating foods and gas-producing foods. Irritating foods include chili peppers, peppercorns, fennel, mustard, curry powder, coffee, strong tea, etc. Excessive consumption of these foods may induce asthma, so they should be avoided as much as possible.

3. Smoking and drinking are prohibited. Smoking can trigger asthma, as mentioned above. Drinking sweet wine, strong liquor and liquor can help fire produce phlegm, which is not good for asthma.

4. Other taboo foods include yellow croaker, dried shrimp, shrimp, crab, chili, soda, soybean, sweet potato, potato, salmon, fatty meat, Chinese mustard, mustard greens, pumpkin, rice grains, etc.

Patients should not eat raw, cold, or irritating foods, nor should they eat too greasy food. They should mainly eat light food. They should not eat seafood. They should eat protein-rich foods, such as dairy products and eggs. They should also eat more sesame seeds, peanuts, etc. They should not smoke or drink, as these will make the condition worse. Sweet wine may seem harmless, but it is actually not good for the condition.
