Using Exersice As A Natural Asthma Treatment

By Eddy Kong

It has been said that many strenuous activities can lead to asthma attack. Asthma patients often limit or inhibit themselves to engage in sports as they consider it a trigger to asthma. Asthma is regarded as a lung related disease and the lungs are believed to be the organ which helps human beings to breath.

Asthma is always related to breathing. When asthma attacks, patients have the tendency to breathe faster and uncontrollable which often makes them weak after the attack has surpassed. And due to this there are certain techniques and mechanisms that have been developed to help asthma patients improve their breathing, some may opt to buteyco breathing technique which is considered to be the most popular, but aside from this popular buteyco technique, asthma patients may choose to exercise to improve and develop proper breathing that can lead to them to prevention and minimizing asthma attacks.

Exercise is believed by asthmatics to contribute to the risks of having an asthma attack. But doctors and experts disagree. They even recommend that an asthmatic should exercise. Besides the physical health benefits, exercise builds up resistance so an asthmatic can play some sports. If an asthmatic exercises for at least fifteen to thirty minutes a day, it can help strengthen the lungs. Strong lungs mean less breathing issues.

An asthmatic should not jump in to the heaviest exercises immediately, of course. They are often advised to start slow so as not to trigger asthma attacks. Also, an asthmatic should not overdo his exercises as exhaustion and stress are also suggested to play a role in asthma. The simplest forms of exercise can be used by asthmatics. Included are walking, jogging, and push ups.

Asthmatics that stay at home all day and doing nothing but lie on the couch and watch television will have more health problems when they get older. They need to go outside, have fun, and play some sports if possible. Start with exercising, and you will be able to do so. There are asthmatics, though, that cannot be cleared by the doctor. So if you want to keep in shape, check with your doctor first.
