Use Lemon to control Asthma?

Filed Under asthma, health tips | 2 Comments

If you just found out you have asthma or are a long time asthma sufferer, here’s step one to start off on your natural remedy lifestyle to reducing and controlling your asthma.

Use of lemon juice has been found to have tremendous benefits in the body and of course for stopping and controlling asthma attacks.

So, step one is to use lemon juice every morning. Forget about the idea that lemon juice is acid and is bad for you if you have arthritis. Yes, lemon juice can cut into and breakup oil. But, when it enters the body as an acid, it ends up as alkaline residue after your cells use it up. Besides if you aren’t eating enough oils such as olive and fish oils this can contribute to the lack of oil to lubricate your joints and anti-inflammatory chemicals and this can accelerate the deterioration of your joint cartilage.

Step one for fighting back if you have asthma

Now, here’s what you don’t want to hear. First, do a two day fast using only water and lemon juice. Every morning after you get up, in eight ounces of distilled water, squeeze the juice of one organic lemon. Warm the distilled water slightly to give this drink extra energy and to reduce the work you body has to do to digest this drink.

Increase the power of this lemon drink
After your two day fast, continue drinking this lemon drink in the morning at least ½ hour before you have breakfast

By the way, if you hate lemon. You can try with manganese. Its also another good choice.

Ps: But did you like both?

I’m allergic to dust mites, what can I do?

Filed Under asthma, health tips | 3 Comments

I’m allergic to dust mites, what can I do? House dust mites and their allergens are difficult to avoid. Try to keep your house, and especially the living area and the bedrooms, dry and well ventilated. Avoid textile floor coverings.

If possible, let someone else do the cleaning. Mop the floors instead of vacuuming them.

It can be a good idea to encase pillows, quilts and mattresses in airtight covers that do not allow dust mites or their allergens to pass through. Alternatively, wash your pillow, blanket and bedding regularly at 60°C. Previously, it was recommended that you put your pillow in the freezer regularly to reduce the number of dust mites, but this is unnecessary if you get a cover for your pillow and mattress that does not let the dust mites through. Ask your doctor for advice.

Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter and double bags. You may also feel better if you avoid having dust-collecting textiles and furniture.

Should I get a central vacuum cleaner?
It is not scientifically proven that a central vacuum cleaner is more effective than a modern vacuum cleaner with a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter and double bags.

Can I reduce my asthma if I get an air purifier?
It is not clear whether using an air purifier in the home is effective. If you have no other way of reducing your exposure to allergens or irritants, it may be worth trying. However, you must use it correctly, which includes keeping doors and windows closed in the room where you are using it.

Can acupuncture help my asthma?
Acupuncture releases the body’s own cortisone, among other things, and this can help in some cases.

One or two studies have shown a short temporary effect of acupuncture on asthma, but there are no long-term studies showing any lasting effects.

Ps: I believe you need more about this issue. See more here for more important issue.

Pss: Never play-play with me. I believe almost of you hate dust right? Say something here dude!

Discover what triggers Your Asthma

Filed Under asthma, health tips | 3 Comments

How can I avoid common triggers? Firstly, try to discover what triggers your asthma. Common triggers include tobacco smoke, cold air and exercise.

1. You should be strict about no smoking inside your home and other places where you spend time. Exposure to tobacco smoke makes asthma worse in most people.
2. Cold air triggers symptoms more easily when you are not getting enough treatment for your asthma, and increasing your dose of anti-inflammatory medication will often help.
3. Exercise is important and should normally not be discouraged, because asthma symptoms during or following exercise can usually be prevented by good medication.

Some allergens can be avoided. For example, if you are allergic to horses or cats you should keep away from them. Other allergens and environmental triggers, such as house dust mite, pollen and air pollution, are more difficult to avoid completely.

Remember there is a difference between triggers that cause inflammation (‘inducers’) and those that only cause temporary symptoms. Full advice about which allergens and environments you should avoid can only be given after talking to your doctor and often after you have been tested for allergies.

Living with Asthma

Filed Under asthma, health tips | 1 Comment

If you live with Asthma, here are a few tips to stay in control of your condition:

Perform at your peak. A peak flow meter can help you head off an asthma attack before it becomes serious. This simple and inexpensive plastic gadget measures how fast you can exhale air from your lungs. People with untreated asthma have low “peak flow,” which increases (often dramatically) a few minutes after they take medication. Measure your peak flow twice a day when your asthma is under control. You’ll know what’s normal for you. When these baseline readings begin to fall, you’ll know you might be about to have an attack.

Give yourself a spacer. A metered-dose inhaler lets out a burst of medication when you press down on it, but this most common type of inhaler can be tricky to time correctly. A special device called a spacer may help. This long plastic tube attaches to one end of the inhaler. The other end goes into your mouth. Once the inhaler is activated, the medication remains in the spacer until you inhale it. With some of these inhalers, like Advair Diskus, the metered dose is released only when you breathe in.

Clean house. Up to 90% of people with asthma react badly to dust mites. These tiny insects cling to carpets, mattresses, bedding, upholstered furniture, and even clothing. Solutions include banishing carpets, dusting religiously with a wet or oiled cloth, and using a vacuum with a microfiltration bag. Wash all bedding in hot water (130°F or higher) once a week, and consider replacing dust-catching blinds or curtains with shades.

Ps: This tips was boring unless you alert about this issue. Asthma really dangerous especially for you kids!
