Behealthypeople - If your breathing is worse than usual, check your diet. Asthma symptoms, which include coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness, are common in an asthma attack. In a study by the University of Newcastle, asthmatics’ diets were compared with
those without the condition. What was surprising was that they ate 5g more fat daily
and 5g less fibre . It’s thought fat reduces thee fect of inhalers, while a high-fibre
intake has been linked to better lung function. Keep your lungs healthy with
more fibre. Add these grains to your daily menu to get your RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance)
