Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat foods rich in potassium, such as tomatoes, bananas, asparagus, oranges, potatoes, avocados, dark leafy greens, and beetroots. Potassium is important for lung function, and a deficiency may cause breathing problems.
  • Drink plenty of fluids as it thins the mucus and makes it easier to cough up.
  • Avoid foods such as cabbage, beans, garlic, onions, shrimp, pickled foods, dried fruits, fried foods, carbonated drinks, wine, and bottled lemon and lime juice, as they may worsen asthma symptoms.
  • Exercise regularly to strengthen your breathing muscles and boost your immune system. Learning breathing exercises will help you move more air in and out of your lungs.
