ASTHMA - this illness literally means - - - “Takes Your Breath Away”

Asthma is a severe respiratory allergy reaction.... studies show that there are common triggers that cause an attack of asthma in children.... the most common trigger is stress; other triggers included smoke, food dyes, certain food allergies, mold, pet danger, chemical toxins and respiratory infection.
In adults.... the triggers are adrenal gland exhaustion, constipation, low thyroid function and hypoglycemia.

DIETARY (considerations):

Begin a largely vegetarian diet.... Green leafy vegetables are especially good because of their high magnesium content, which helps to relax bronchial muscles. Drink plenty of water with lemon to thin mucous secretions.
Have your food sensitivities identified (consider allergy testing). Reduce sodium and starchy foods in your diet. Asthmatics have more frequent attacks when they consume high amounts of sodium (salty) foods. To cut down on mucus production avoid dairy products, soft drinks, caffeine, fried foods, sulfites, MSG, and sugary foods.
