How Can Asthma Patients Take Care of Themselves?
1. Eat Foods Rich in Protein
Such as milk, eggs, soy products, etc. These foods are rich in protein, which can help increase calories, improve immune function, enhance the body's ability to resist diseases, and reduce asthma attacks.
2. Quit Smoking and Limit Alcohol Consumption
Cigarettes and alcohol can stimulate the bronchi to a certain extent, which can enhance bronchial reactions and induce or aggravate asthma symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, and palpitations.
3. Practice Diaphragmatic Breathing
Diaphragmatic breathing refers to relaxation of the whole body during breathing, exhaling while sucking in the belly, and inhaling while bulging the belly. This breathing technique helps improve lung ventilation and blood circulation, relieve bronchospasm, and alleviate asthma symptoms.
4. Exercise Moderately
Asthma patients can engage in light-intensity physical exercise such as walking, jogging, etc. Regular exercise can help improve lung function, increase lung capacity, and enhance immune function, reducing the frequency of asthma attacks.
