5.Learn to Decompress
When you’re stressed, all the muscles in your body tense up, including the ones in your chest. Managing that tension may mean fewer asthma flare-ups. Meditation and yoga are good options, as is tai chi, an ancient, gentle Chinese martial art. Research suggests that it can help control asthma symptoms in some people.
6.Keep Moving
Exercise can make your lungs stronger, but it can also be an asthma trigger, especially if you’re out in cold weather. To stay safe, talk to your doctor before starting a new routine and ask if you should take medication before you get moving. Also be sure to work your way up slowly (think walking, then jogging, then running). And heed the weather: If it’s cold out, cover your mouth and nose or move your workout indoors.
