Reduced symptoms
A HEALTHY diet and regular exercise can significantly reduce asthma symptoms.
At the end of an eightweek study, scientists in Italy found those who took exercise classes three times a week and ate a low-glycaemic index diet rated their asthma symptoms score 50% lower than patients in the non-intervention control group.
Participants who only altered their exercise level or diet, but not both, reported a 30% improvement.
