7. Eat fatty fish or take Omega 3s
Omega 3s are a great supplement to add to your routine because of their anti-inflammatory properties. Taking this on a regular basis (or supplementing with fatty fish like salmon) may help alleviate your symptoms.
8. Find ways to reduce stress
Stress can cause many conditions, or worsen the already frustrating symptoms of those conditions. It can prevent the body from protecting itself and recovering.
Find ways you can alleviate stress in your life—maybe that’s by talking to a therapist, opting out of a task you don’t need to take on, practicing mindfulness, or asking for help from friends and family.
9. Incorporate ginger
Whether it’s taking a ginger supplement or adding it to your meals, ginger has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce symptoms of asthma. Plus, it comes with other benefits—like helping to curve feelings of nausea!
10. Be prepared
If you know you’re going to be in a triggering situation where an asthma attack could arise, make sure you have your inhaler and other tools in your toolkit on hand.
Being aware and prepared can help ease your anxiety about the potential for an attack as well as help bring you back to baseline if one should occur.
