Asthma…and Corona

Diagnosis of asthma requires symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, difficulty breathing and tightness of chest... yes quite similar to Corona!
However, the contributory factors are very different. They include pollution, pesticides, aerobic exercise, pollen, allergens such as dust mites, moulds and certain foods, and cigarette smoke...
There is no better time than now, in isolation, to work out those triggers for you!

Some foods which can exacerbate asthma symptoms include: dairy, gluten, chocolate, dried fruits, tomatoes, food additives, animal foods and salt

Beneficial foods: fresh fruits especially those high in vit C like mango and berries, avoid citrus fruits as they can be allergens
Oily fish, twice a week
Whole grains, such as brown rice, oats
Lentils, onions, garlic, avocados;

Chlorophyll and Vit A rich foods, such as spirulina, apricots, carrots, leafy green vegs and pumpkin

Helpful supplements:  
Vits C, D, B6, B12 ( best check status with a blood test)
Quercetin - 150mg before each meal
Gingko biloba (my favourite is Solgar)
Pre- and probiotics

Useful extras:
Green tea
Aloe Vera
Exercise lungs with Ultra Breathe Lung exerciser
Learn Buteyko breathing technique

Try all these while you are stuck at home, you will be soo happy when normality returns. Good luck!
