Do not pet a pet
The best approach is to not have a pet that can trigger asthma. The problem is animal dander, but indignation - dead skin, dry, flaking. The animal licks the skin and saliva remains in its indignation. If your pet is not abandoned, the next logical step is to establish very strict rules about living with an animal allergens. Do not leave your dog in the room - ever. If the animal is in the room at any time during the day, the outrage would remain for hours. Leave pets at home if you go for a drive, which would require close contact with the animal. If you are in contact with your pet (or any other animal for that matter), wash hands immediately. If you can not keep hands to your pet at least bring your air kisses on the face, - pets still the idea. Also, try bathing your dog or cat once a week in warm water without soap others.
Kick the smoking habit
Tobacco smoke can be an irritant that triggers asthma and an allergen, which reached an allergic reaction leading to asthma. Tobacco smoke is one of the most known irritants: It paralyzes small hairlike cilia along the respiratory mucous membranes. It also reduces the immune response and leaves a smoker more susceptible to upper respiratory infections. "Not one redeeming element to smoke," Weinstein cautions. "Given the known health risks associated with smoking, asthma patients should make every effort to stop smoking -. Whether alone or with a smoking cessation program "non-smokers living with smokers are not better off. So if there is someone in your household who will not quit, ask that person to take your usual outdoor.

"For example, should stay indoors when it's cold, because a blast of cold air can cause bronchial spasm. Stay inside if the wind is strong, too. So as gusts of wind can blow pollution and smog, they can also pollen blowing in your direction. If you like walking in the rain, you're in luck, because rain tends to wash allergens wandering pollutants and irritants.
Watch what you eat
Whether food triggers chronic asthma has not been answered yet. Some foods such as nuts, shellfish, milk, eggs, and strawberries, can lead to a series of allergic reactions, including asthma symptoms. Sulfites in wine may have a similar effect. Although the information currently available suggests that the chances are low that food allergies are a trigger for chronic asthma in adults is always wise to reduce or eliminate consumption of certain foods that you notice worsening asthma . But see your doctor if you think that food is necessary nutrients. Allergies to certain foods, especially milk and wheat, are often a trigger for asthma in children. When milk and wheat seem to be causing problems for your child's asthma, eliminate these foods.
Read labels and avoid foods that list milk milk solids, casein, whey or caseinate as an ingredient. (Talk to your doctor about other sources of nutrients in foods such as calcium.)

Staying Healthy
An upper respiratory problem - like a respiratory infection - can cause problems in the lower respiratory tract - the bronchi - and precipitate an asthma attack. Everybody wants to be in a state of good health. For someone with asthma, staying healthy can lead to a dramatic reduction in symptoms.
Exercise of options
For years, people with asthma said they exercise, because it would encourage attacks. Research has shown, however, that the more asthmatics exercise, exercise can tolerate. If you have asthma, should take part in regular aerobic exercise.
Begin with short workouts and increase them gradually. At least initially, to keep a bronchodilator with you. If you feel tightness in the chest and can not work through it, use the device. If you are cold or dry air, wear a scarf around the nose and mouth to warm the air before breathing in cool with light exercise at the end of training. If a type of exercise brings more attacks, try another form of exercise. You may be unable to tolerate the operation, for example, but you may be able to swim regularly.
Take a deep breath
Breathing exercises provide a form of relaxation and can be beneficial to some patients during an asthma attack. However, it would be a mistake to rely solely on breathing exercises to control an acute episode of asthma, "said Weinstein. Although this rule is not followed, breathing exercises are great for patients who find them useful. You can practice controlled breathing, focus on inhaling slowly through your nose rather than mouth breathing breathless. He suggested that before starting these breathing exercises, blowing your nose to ensure that your airways are free of debris. Then sit on a chair in a comfortable position.
Breathe deeply and feel your breath go as far as possible. Your abdomen should expand as you do this exercise. Exhale slowly, feeling your abdomen, relax the breath of the nose. Repeat this exercise at least three times a day (but never immediately after a meal).
Keep your weight
"Unfortunately, some drugs against asthma can lead to weight gain. An overweight person has been more difficult to breathe and the heart works harder to pump blood throughout the body. Weight reduction is very important," said Bell. If you are overweight, you and your doctor must work together to establish a diet plan that will reduce the consumption of calories without depriving you of needed.
