Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways. About 15 million United States people are affected by disease. It is the most common and chronic disease of children as it affects 5 million children all over the world. This disease is characterized by attacks of wheezing that happens periodically, shortness of breathe and a tight feeling in chest. Sticky mucus is produced with a cough to the patient of asthma.

In most of the cases of asthma are the result of exposure to things such as smoke, pollen, gas odors, and even automotive exhaust. Foods can also trigger attacks as well, such as peanuts, corn, chocolate, and almost all dairy products as dairy products are helpful in producing mucus. If you take any type of antibiotics, tranquilizers, or hormones, it may prompt asthma. Asthma is a serious and somewhat annoying condition, one that millions of us face on a daily basis.

Asthma Prevention

Asthma can be prevented with the intake of vitamins in rich amount. A pregnant woman can save herself from the severe problems of asthma by taking proper amount of vitamins in diet. If she would not take proper amount of Vitamin E in diet then her child may have more chances of having asthma.

Asthma and Vitamin B6

Many surveys conclude that vitamin B6 is used to treat the nutritional disease as well as asthma. If a person having deficiency of vitamin B6 it will cause altered metabolism of tryptophan and serotonin and subsequent excretion of substances such as xanthurenic acid and kynurenic acid in the urine, all these has been suspected in asthmatic patients long time before because of the prevalence of these urinary changes in earlier studies of asthmatic patients. Even some studies show that deficiency of vitamin B6 may result in asthma. Large doses of Vitamin b6 are offered to the patients of asthma to get relieve.

Vitamin C and asthma

Vitamin C is generally called nature’s protective nutrient. It is necessary for defending the body against the infections and pollution. It also enhances the human body’s immune system. All its qualities are necessary for preventing asthma.
