5 Foods that fight asthma

SPINACH -

It is a great source of magnesium, which improves symptoms of asthma. Studies show that people with asthma tend to have lower blood and tissue levels of magnesium, and increasing magnesium intake in the long run can reduce the incidence of asthma attacks. Spinach is also high in B vitamins which help reduce stress-related asthma attacks. 

RED PEPPER - 

It is rich in vitamin C, which is especially helpful in reducing inflammation. Ascorbic acid present in red peppers inhibits the production of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase, which is present in most common asthma drugs.

ONIONS - 

Onions have an anti-inflammatory and anti-asthmatic effect, inhibit the release of histamines, and reduce bronchial obstruction. Onions contain prostaglandins that relax the bronchial passageways and have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties.

ORANGES AND LEMONS - 

Consuming fruits high in Vitamin C can help reduce the instance of asthma attacks, particularly in children. A study in Italy found that children who ate the fruit several times a week experienced significantly fewer asthma symptoms than children who did not regularly eat these types of fruits.

APPLES - 

Apples contain certain phytochemicals that can improve lung functioning in asthma sufferers. A study shows that children born to mothers who consumed four or more apples a week had half the chance of developing childhood asthma as did children born to women who consumed one or less apples per week.
