Avoid overloading your lungs.
In the presence of this disease, additional stress (for example, abdominal exercises or intense movements) can make breathing difficult and lead to an asthma attack. Rapid breathing during intense physical activity can also lead to hyperventilation, which further worsens the situation. It’s important to choose moderate exercises that don’t overload the lungs and avoid triggers such as cold air or dust. To prevent exposure to cold air, try to breathe through your nose when outdoors, as this helps warm the air before it enters your lungs.
Avoid using perfumes with strong scents.
People with asthma have very sensitive bronchial passages, and strong fragrances can further narrow the airways, making it harder to breathe. Therefore, it is important to choose perfumes with milder scents and pay attention to perfumes labelled as hypoallergenic, as they are less likely to cause allergic reactions. When shopping for fragrances, try to avoid testing multiple perfumes at once; instead, decide which scent you want by reading the descriptions. This will prevent you from overwhelming yourself with too many fragrances and help you feel better after the purchase.
Visit a specialist for regular checkups.
Only a specialist can promptly notice changes in your condition and, if necessary, prescribe certain medications (such as Alupent, AB Phylline) or the use of an inhaler (such as Beclazone, Duolin). It is important that the treatment is appropriate for your current condition, as this is a chronic disease, and depending on age or other factors, symptoms may vary. In addition, the specialist can teach you how to act properly during exacerbations, which helps to quickly overcome the unpleasant symptoms. Therefore, try not to miss your doctor’s appointments and, if possible, ask your doctor everything that bothers you so that he or she has more information about your condition. Only then will all the recommendations be of maximum benefit, and you will be able to continue living your normal life.
Consume beneficial foods for better well-being.
A responsible approach to nutrition is one of the key factors in managing asthma. Therefore, try to think about your diet in advance to buy the necessary products. It will be useful to add such products as fish and flax to your dishes. Moreover, nowadays there are a lot of interesting recipes that will help you cook a dish from any product. For example, fish can not only be baked or fried, but also made into fish soup or added to a warm salad. Moreover, flaxseeds can also be added to the salad, resulting in a very tasty dish that helps reduce inflammation in the body and contributes to the prevention of choking episodes. It is also important to monitor changes in your weight, as excess weight can worsen lung function.

Therefore, make sure to spend enough time on cleaning to reach every corner. Since thorough cleaning improves the air quality in the home, which is important for respiratory health.
