Patient's question:
Female, 33 years old, has noticed this symptom for a long time, but the condition has not improved. She wants to have a systematic check-up at the hospital to see what to pay attention to in terms of diet for bronchial asthma.Doctor's answer:
For patients with bronchial asthma, attention should be paid to the following aspects in dietary regulation:1. Asthma patients should follow a light diet and avoid excessive salt intake. It is also advisable to consume foods with acidic properties, such as vinegar, in moderation. During asthma exacerbation, appropriate dietary choices can help alleviate symptoms, complement treatment, and improve recovery.
2. When bronchial asthma recurs, it is recommended to limit the intake of gas-producing or easily digestible foods, such as beans, taro, and others, to prevent abdominal bloating, control chest tightness, and alleviate severe shortness of breath.
3. Asthma patients should avoid foods suspected of being allergens. Foods that are excessively cold in nature, highly irritating, or likely to trigger asthma exacerbation, such as shrimp, crabs, bamboo shoots, bitter gourds, watermelon, mung bean sprouts, as well as tobacco and alcohol, should all be avoided.
