One of my cats had to have surgery, so I'm stuck enjoying the 70 degree weather in Florida rather than making the long trek back to Long Island I had planned. Oh well.
A friend of mine coached girls basketball for many years, and we got to talking about "sports" or "exercised induced" asthma, when exercise causes acute narrowing of the airways, making it tough to breathe.
30 minutes of rest and an inhaler would work 99% of the time. And these were the tough girls. The vast majority of them, as well as boys these days, opt for zero sports period. Misinformed parents don't help when they push their kids away from possibly hurting themselves which means no activity at all.
My friend's team had a remarkable system for handling asthma. The affected girl would jump out of the game and her teammates would help with the inhaler while an assistant coach watched. Then the girl's breathing would get back to normal and everything would be fine.
Then the girl would get back in the game as if nothing had happened.
I've just seen a study showing that a low salt diet combined with pharmaceutical grade fish oil supplementation reduces the incidence of bronchoconstriction, or "sports" asthma.
In the study, done at the University of Indiana in 2006, the post-exercise lung function of participants, adults with mild to moderate persistant asthma, improved by about 64 per cent... and their use of emergency inhalers decreased by about 31 per cent, when they consumed a low salt diet, supplemented with pharmaceutical grade fish oil, for the period of the study.
A key finding in the study was that, while on the diet and fish oil supplementation, airway pro-inflammatory cells and markers were reduced. These are responsible for airway inflammation and airway obstruction.
Where do kids get all the salt, which is a key factor?
Doritos, potato chips, frozen pizza, hot dogs, and most microwavable food. Tons of salt.
And if you're around kids, you know they're putting this stuff away by the pound.
I advise you to get rid of this stuff if it's in your home. And everyone will benefit if you start introducing your kids to better food.
And enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil isn't just for yourself, it's for the whole family. It's never too late to start everyone on the path to healthy eating and living.
Good food and good exercise, plus enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil, mean your chances of contracting this type of asthma may be very slim indeed. - 15438
