BOOST YOUR VITAMIN D INTAKE TO MANAGE ASTHMA

Asthma, which inflames and narrows the airways and makes it difficult to breathe, has become more common in recent years. While there is no known cure, asthma can be managed with medication and by avoiding allergens and other triggers. A new study points to a convenient and free way to manage acute asthmatic episodes — catching some rays outside. According to a recent paper published in the journal Allergy, measuring and, if need be, boosting Vitamin D levels could help manage asthma attacks. Vitamin D helps modulate immune response to lower risk and intensity of asthma attacks.
