First, bad food and bad habits can lead to asthma.
1, avoid too sweet, too salty, too spicy or cold food:
Asthmatics usually have the experience of eating salty, too sweet or spicy food to induce cough and asthma. Modern medical research has confirmed that high sodium diet can increase the airway responsiveness of asthma patients. Hypertonic saline sentence bronchial provocation test is also commonly used to diagnose asthma in clinic. Hypertonic saline can obviously increase the airway responsiveness of asthma patients, so asthma patients should have a light diet. The same is true of foods that are too sweet. Excessive spicy foods include pepper, mustard, horseradish, pepper, garlic, vinegar, white wine or some condiments (pepper noodles, pepper noodles), and the pungent smell volatilized from these spicy foods can easily lead to acute asthma attacks. Cold drinks, ice cream, food just taken out of the refrigerator and other cold foods can also induce asthma, especially patients with cold asthma must pay attention to avoid cold or cold food. Eating some raw fruits such as peaches, mangoes or some nuts can also induce allergic asthma.
2. Avoid allergic food:
Acute asthma attacks are often related to certain food allergies, and avoiding such foods is often the simplest and most effective way to avoid asthma attacks. Doctors should guide patients to make a diet plan, which can not only avoid foods containing allergens, but also get enough nutrition. For asthma attacks suspected to be caused by food allergies (especially after meals or at night), doctors should check food allergens for patients (IgE should be checked, not IgG) in order to determine the types of food allergens. Taking targeted foods to avoid allergies can reduce the probability of food-induced allergic asthma.
In asthmatic children with eczema, milk and eggs are often the main allergens. Therefore, once diagnosed, all dairy products or egg products, including milk tablets, buttered bread, toffee, cakes and other dairy products or egg products, should be fasted. Patients who are allergic to soybeans often have allergic reactions to other kinds of beans, such as broad beans and green beans. Therefore, if they are allergic to one kind of beans, they should avoid eating other beans. Patients who are allergic to mold should avoid eating fungus, mushrooms and pine nuts.
Seafood (including shrimp, crab, squid, fish, shellfish and mussels) is one of the main foods that induce asthma. Because many seafood are rich in histidine, this foreign protein will release a lot of histamine (allergic substance) if it is stored in the refrigerator for a long time or not, which will cause allergic asthma and cough. According to our investigation and analysis on the relationship between food commonly eaten by more than 0/000 asthmatic children and asthma attack, it is found that more than 60% asthmatic children have asthma due to eating some different seafood or aquatic products, so all parents or patients of asthmatic children should pay attention to the relationship between eating fish, shrimp, crab, seafood or aquatic products and asthma attack time. Asthma patients should try to avoid frozen or stale seafood.
In addition, some asthma patients are allergic to buckwheat noodles or flour.
The European Commission has recently formulated a regulation on revising the food ingredient specification, pointing out that all foods containing ingredients that may cause allergic reactions or other discomfort, namely, cereals, eggs, milk, peanuts, soybeans, sesame seeds, seafood (fish, shellfish) and crustaceans (shrimp, crab, etc.). ) and fruit with skin should be indicated in the instruction. Asthma patients should pay attention to reading the instructions when buying packaged food to avoid eating foods containing allergic ingredients by mistake.
3. Control the oil intake.
Greasy food can increase airway responsiveness, and asthma patients often complain that eating greasy food will lead to excessive phlegm or chest tightness, so the intake of oil should be properly controlled. Studies have confirmed that lipids can affect the gas exchange of asthma patients.
4. Foods with high protein content should not be eaten too much.
High-protein foods are common allergens that induce allergies, so patients with allergic asthma should be careful when eating a lot of high-protein foods (such as seafood, milk, eggs, meat). Peptone that is not decomposed in the intestine is easily absorbed into the blood, which may cause allergies or asthma attacks.
Eat too much
The mechanical oppression of overeating diet leads to the increase of diaphragm and the decrease of vital capacity, which will also aggravate the dyspnea of asthma, so asthma patients should pay attention to avoid overeating. Because gastroesophageal reflux can also lead to asthma attacks at night, and drinking alcohol before going to bed, being too full, food rich in lipids, drinking too much water, etc. will lead to gastroesophageal reflux, so asthma patients should pay attention to avoiding the above factors. Food additives (such as preservatives, thickeners, food pigments, preservatives, monosodium glutamate) sometimes induce asthma and should be avoided as much as possible.
Second, foods that are good for asthma.
1. Allergic probiotic drinks:
In addition to the application of antiallergic drugs, more and more attention has been paid to the regulation of immune function by new antiallergic lactic acid bacteria Kangmin source. New anti-allergic probiotics include Lactobacillus salivarius PM-A0006, Lactobacillus Grignard PM-A0005, Lactobacillus yoelii PM-A0009 and lactobacillus paracasei LP. Oral Kangminyuan can not only act on the intestine, but also regulate the immune response of the lungs. For example, Lactobacillus salivarius PM-A0006 can significantly reduce the concentration of eosinophils in respiratory tract and the content of IgE-specific antibodies in serum. In addition, Lactobacillus salivarius PM-A0006 can also reduce the occurrence of respiratory allergic reactions.
Among the probiotic effects of many lactic acid bacteria, the antiallergic probiotic strains contained in Kangminyuan antiallergic probiotics have been widely studied for their immunomodulation and antiallergic effects. The research report of the above-mentioned patented antiallergic lactic acid bacteria strain points out that Kangminyuan active antiallergic probiotics living in the gastrointestinal tract of the host can enhance the TH 1 immune response, so as to regulate the TH2 immune response overreacted due to allergy and enhance the antiallergic ability, thus becoming a new way for non-drug antiallergic asthma.
2. Vegetables:
Chinese cabbage, purple cabbage, potatoes, shepherd's purse and many other vegetables have certain anti-allergic effects, so they are beneficial to asthma. In recent years, it has been found that mushrooms also have anti-asthma effects, and at least 50 potential components have been extracted from them, which can be eaten by patients who are not allergic to mold. Soutar et al. found that when vitamin intake is reduced, airway responsiveness can be increased by 5 times, and the reduction of antioxidants in diet can increase the incidence of asthma. Therefore, it is beneficial for asthmatic or allergic patients or children to eat fresh vegetables often. It is also found that vitamins are important local antioxidants in airway surface fluid, which can antagonize the effect of nitric oxide. Supplementing antioxidants such as vitamin E and vitamin C can relieve asthma symptoms, especially for children.
