Can natural nutrition reduce the triggers that may cause asthma?Asthma is a growing medical concern. What if we provided enough good natural nutrition that had what the body really required. Not what we feed it today. Do you think we would suffer asthma? Interesting question, lets look at the facts I obtained from my local hospital literature. Cause of asthmaThe cause is still unknown but what happens when an attack occurs, is known. The muscle in the airway walls tighten, swelling occurs in the lining and a thicker mucus results in the airways.SymptomsLiterature will provide common symptoms including wheezing, a dry persistant cough, difficulty breathing and chest tightness. Medical experts will even identify various types, depending on the symptoms you display from viral infection, allergy triggers and smoking (both actual and passive).Statisitcal dataWhat the medical experts do say though is that 85% of attacks are associated with chest infections, upper respiratory tract infections, sore throat or influenza. Other attacks are triggered by allergens, irritants and vast changes in temperature and humidity but only make up 15% of recorded attacks.Can diet play a major part in all this?As a person living with a family member with asthma, one wonders what would happen to a sufferer if these triggers were reduced. Smoking and irritants is something that many interact with by choice unless they are a child. But the 85% has to do with the body's immune system not being able to efficiently fight off various infections.The immune system is nourished by the nutrients that we consume. If your body is not getting enough of the right balance of nutrients, how can you expect the body to perform as it should. We live in a world of fast processed foods and exposure to many pollutants not only through the skin or what we breath. Many are taken through what we eat and many medical drug or supplements we comsume. People are slowly recognising and acting on what the health and wellness industry has been voicing for years. People need to provide good fuel for the body to function properly and allow it to repair the damage. One way is to have a strong immune system. We may not be able to in short, change the food sources to encourage food that is flavoursome and full of nutrents. There is a natural nutritional juice supplement thats unique to Australia that I give to my family daily to make sure that they start the day with the full amount of goodness. Its part of the daily breakfast routine. It contains a blend of indigenous Australian foods combined with a variety of other wholefood juices to create a unique spicy chocolate blend of nutrients. All I know is that the use of the inhaler has reduced dramatically and there appears to be a reduction in the amount of viruses and flus. It makes sense to me, what price do you put on health.
