Learn how dietary intervention and fish oils can reduce asthma symptoms and improve your quality of life! 

 

Asthma is a growing concern for many Canadians. The staggering increase in asthma cannot be explained solely by epidemiology or a natural change in genetics. So what is leading to an increase in this inflammatory condition? As Naturopathic philosophy dictates, we must look at the underlying causes of this inflammatory process. Asthma is part of a triad of inflammatory processes also including eczema and allergies. These diseases are known as atopic conditions and often there is a natural progressionfrom eczema to asthma to allergies, commonly known as the atopic march.

 

 

 These 3 diseases share many underlying risk factors and root causes and may treated similarly in some cases. Asthma, although if affects the lungs, requires a whole body approach for effective, long term treatment. The first step in treating asthma is to stop putting inflammatory foods into the body. Certain foods may not be the cause of asthma, but can certainly contribute to an inflammatory state and may worsen symptoms or trigger an attack. An anti-inflammatory diet is one in which you eliminate the most common food allergies or sensitivities. A special mention goes out to dairy which is very mucus forming and congesting and 100% elimination may help to reduce symptoms...
