7.Eat the Rainbow
Colorful produce is rich in antioxidants like beta-carotene and vitamins C and E that help fight inflammation in your body, including in your lungs. And while you’re watching your diet, be careful with sulfites, a type of preservative that triggers asthma symptoms in some people. You’ll often find them in wine, dried fruit, pickles, and shrimp.
8.Let the Sun Shine
Many Americans are low in vitamin D, and people with severe asthma might be more likely to have this issue. Ask your doctor to test your levels. If you don’t have enough, milk, eggs, and bony fish like canned salmon can help. Your body also makes vitamin D when you’re in sunlight. Just remember to use sunscreen, and don’t stay out too long or you could raise your chances of skin cancer.
