What are the precautions for asthma patients?

The reason for the increase in the incidence of asthma is largely related to people’s incorrect living habits. Therefore, asthma patients must pay more attention to the four aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Only in this way can they reduce the incidence of the disease and have a healthy body.

1. Clothing : Add clothes at any time to prevent catching a cold and getting sick. When choosing clothing materials, wool underwear, duck down vests, animal fur clothing, and chemical fiber clothing such as acrylic, polyester, and nylon can easily cause allergies, urticaria, and asthma attacks. Therefore, the underwear for asthma patients should be made of pure cotton fabrics, and the fabric should be smooth, soft and flat, and the clothes should not be too tight. In addition, asthma patients should often expose their clothes to the sun to kill allergenic germs such as insect mites.

2. Food : Generally, fresh marine fish, shrimp, crab, and autumn candela are prone to cause allergic asthma, and asthma patients should avoid eating them. People who are diagnosed with cold asthma by traditional Chinese medicine should not eat too many cold foods, such as raw pears, spinach, and bamboo shoots, but should eat warm foods such as lamb, goose meat, ginger, cinnamon, etc. The opposite is true for people with hot asthma. Water chestnuts, white radish, walnut meat, red dates, water chestnuts, lotus seeds, yam, etc. have the effects of strengthening the spleen and resolving phlegm, benefiting the kidneys and nourishing the lungs, and have a certain effect in preventing asthma attacks.

3. Accommodation : Asthma often occurs at night, so the patient's bedroom must maintain a certain temperature and humidity, and maintain air circulation. A room that has just been painted cannot be occupied immediately. The doors and windows should be opened for at least a week to circulate the paint to prevent contact allergies. Asthma patients should also use less silk, cotton and down products in their clothing and bedding. Be sure to clean dust in dead corners to avoid the breeding of mites that can cause allergies. Expose pillows and bedding to the sun frequently, and try not to use cloth sofas and carpets. Don't keep birds, dogs, or flowers to ensure that asthma does not recur.

4. Exercise : Patients should pay attention to exercise and cold-resistance training. If their body permits, they can also insist on wiping their bodies with cold water. Persistence in doing so can enhance immunity and cold-resistance and reduce the onset of colds and asthma. In addition, climbing high and looking far into the distance, and visiting famous mountains and rivers can also cheer up your mood, relax your mind, and dilate your trachea, which is a positive effect on preventing asthma attacks.

What should asthma patients pay attention to in daily life? In daily life, asthma patients should stay away from allergens, and also participate in some physical exercises appropriately to improve the body's disease resistance, which can reduce the recurrence of asthma.
