2007-05-18 / 06:23:11 PM
Salutations All!
Today I would like to talk more about asthma and its risk factors. Though we can not always prevent asthma from occurring we can help to lessen the chance of affecting triggers and become healthier.
Below are some of the Risk Factors of Asthma:
1. exposure to cigarettes: either by smoking or second-hand.
2. Allergens
3. Family History: having other with asthma in your family raises you risk by 25%
4. Infections
I hope this little bit of information helped you. Until next time!

When Asthma Rears its Ugly Head
2007-05-17 / 02:48:06 PM
Greetings All!
I have three asthmatics in my house and at times like this it can be hard to deal with. The whether changes and the high pollen levels make for a really nasty mix. My Children have Asthma and seeing them sick is probably one of the hardest things I face in my life.
Since people with Asthma are prone to getting more infections/colds then people without Asthma it is hard to deal with. I fight to keep them healthy, giving them all the nutrients their body needs daily.
Aside from foods what else can help with their immune system? Regular Exercise and Sleep! Believe it or not sleep helps to rejuvenate the body and repair itself.
Some uncommonly known signs of Asthma.:
Many of us are unaware of little tell tale signs of Asthma. So I have jotted a few down!
1. Persistent cough without any other symptoms of a cold.
2. Scratching the neck: My son seems to scratch his neck whenever his Asthma is acting up.
3. Deep Contractions in the abdomen: When a child or adult is having a hard time breathing their abdomen is showing signs of work!
Well I hope this helps
Until Next time!

Tips:
1. Wash Pillows and Pillow Cases regularly: They trap dust and dust mites! Yuck!

Fighting Allergies
2007-05-17 / 12:48:46 AM
Greetings All!
Today I would like to discuss fighting allergies. With the weather changing we can come across some very bad allergy weather! What things can be done to lower your chances of having a reaction?
First things first what are some signs of allergies:
1. Watery Eyes: This is a classic sign
2. Sneezing or runny nose: dust or pollen often cause the nose to react, and clean it out!
3. Rash or Hives: This is also a classic sign.
4. Trouble Breathing: Often times an allergic reaction causes a narrowing of the tubes making it hard to breath.
For further questions on allergies contact your physician.
If you have anything to add to this post please list in comments.
