What should not be eaten for cough asthma

Cough asthma is a common disease among the elderly, and it can cause serious harm to their bodies. If the elderly suffer from cough asthma in their lives, you should know what things they should not eat, so as to avoid worsening of the disease. Now let’s take a look at what people with cough asthma should not eat. I hope it will be helpful in treating cough asthma in your life.

Cough asthma mainly includes heat asthma and infantile asthma. For heat asthma, patients cannot eat some hot foods in their lives, such as lamb, pork and leeks, but are suitable to eat some cool foods, such as pears, bamboo shoots and other ingredients.

If the asthma is caused by heat, you should not eat hot foods, such as lamb, goose meat, leek, ginger, cinnamon, pepper and other spicy foods, but should eat more cool foods, such as horsetail, celery, raw pears, water chestnuts, etc.; spinach, hairy bamboo shoots, etc. should be eaten less. When asthma attacks, you should also eat less gas-producing or difficult-to-digest foods, such as beans, taro, and sweet potatoes, to avoid abdominal distension compressing the chest cavity and aggravating breathing difficulties.

Infants and young children should be wary of foreign proteins, and the elderly should eat less foods that produce phlegm, such as eggs, fatty meats, peanuts, and greasy foods that are difficult to digest. In addition to avoiding foods that are sure to cause allergies or asthma, you should avoid other foods to avoid losing the proper nutritional balance. During an asthma attack, don't forget to drink plenty of water and light liquids to prevent dehydration and thick phlegm that is difficult to cough up, which can aggravate breathing difficulties.

The food should be light: fresh vegetables, such as cabbage, spinach, rapeseed, radish, carrot, tomato, cucumber, winter melon, etc., can not only supplement the supply of multiple vitamins and inorganic salts, but also have the functions of clearing phlegm, removing heat, and relieving constipation; soybeans and soy products contain high-quality protein needed by the human body, which can supplement the nutritional loss caused by chronic bronchitis to the body, without the disadvantages of accumulating phlegm and turning into fire.

The above is an introduction about what patients with cough asthma should not eat. It is hoped that patients will know how to control their diet in life and know which foods patients cannot eat. This will enable patients to better treat cough asthma in life. Therefore, it is recommended that patients should learn more about cough asthma in life.
