#NutritionAndHealth

This month we are talking about nutrition and health! Join in on the conversation and tell us how nutrition has impacted your asthma. Do you have an success stories you'd like to share? Have there been any challenges you've faced? Reach out to us and join in on the conversation!

  1. How does nutrition truly affect asthma? I have never been told that my nutrition has anything to do with my asthma..

    1. Hi Jimb and thanks for your inquiry. We appreciate your concern.
      If you look into this a bit deeper, you may realize that for some people with asthma, foods can have a significant effect. For others perhaps, not so much.

      For example, this article focuses on the effects of food and wine (with sulfites): https://asthma.net/triggers/food-wine-sulfites

      This article underscores the issues that may have an effect on inflammation: https://asthma.net/living/low-inflammatory-ingredients

      Finally, I thought you might find this article makes interesting reading - it's all about nutritious foods and asthma: https://asthma.net/coping/diet

      I do hope this material provides you with some insight on how foods and asthma can be related.
      All the best,
