Ok. Well if you are not allergic to almonds, I would start there. They contain amino acids that help to dialate the bronchials. Also, try regular black tea. It has a low concentration of natural chemicals that pharmacists try to replicate in albuterol and other microcristalline medicines. Also, try an air purifier. You can also use a hot steam bath or cool night air to open your lungs up.

Asthma is a pain, isn’t it? Especially when you try to exercise. You must always have some medicine available, just in case of emergency, but there are natural ways to treat it.

For one, eat more flavonoids, found in tea, apples, and onions. Also, cut down on your salt consumption. For some asthmatics, that alone is enough to ease symptoms. Don’t believe the myth you have to avoid dairy, although I’ve personally (yes, I do have asthma) noticed that if an episode is coming on, dairy makes it worse. Otherwise, I’m fine.

Others swear by eating hot and spicy stuff. There’s nothing like a little cayenne or chili powder to open you up! (I’ve had friends have the opposite effect though, forcing them to use their emergency inhalers. Test the waters with a small amount first when you’re having slight difficulties. Your chest should feel a little less tight and the air should come easier. If not, stay away from the stuff when you’re having an episode.)

Relaxation exercises will also help.

You say you’re a beginner in working out. Start slow and start easy. Since you have asthma, only do moderate cardio (think slow jogging or brisk walking) for 15min. and build up by five minutes once a week until you reach 45min. A pain, I know, but it’s better than risking an asthma attack! You might notice your asthma gets better too. This is because your lungs have become more efficient in working with oxygen. So you get in shape, look great, AND feel better. What a great deal!

For weights, select something you can only do 4-6 reps with. If you’re in a lot of pain, then you’re lifting too much weight or doing too many reps with the appropriate weight. Build up the weight every couple of weeks until you reach a weight you’d like to lift.

Your meals should focus mostly around healthful foods. A whole grain cereal with low-fat or skim milk and a fruit is yummy and healthy. Lunch might include at least two servings of veggies (think easy, like carrots and celery,) a serving of dairy, and a serving of fruit. Have a fruit as a snack between lunch and dinner. At dinner, focus on lean protein, such as white chicken or turkey, salmon, or pork tenderloin. Add two servings of veggies (potatoes, peas, brocolli, and cauliflower are tasty. And tomato sauce counts!)

Good luck at getting healthy and in shape!

You could try swimming each day as this is supposed to help with asthma. Google Ian Thorpe cause thats why he initially started swimming.

This helps for most:
Okay. Cut out eating in between meals.
Only eat healthy food and cut down on Carb’s like bread, potatoes, pasta’s, rice, cereals, lollies etc. These are the fat making foods.
Don’t add salt to your meals. Cut out soft drinks.
Then walk an hour every morning two hours after a meal and the same in the afternoon.
If you can jog in between both sessions you’ll burn even more calories.
You should lose and continue to lose more weight as you go.
If you can cut out your lunch meal and replace it with a protein drink instead that would also help. Available in supermarkets.
As long as you can stay off junk food and eating in between meals. If you have to eat something in between have something like small raw carrots or celery sticks.
Summary:
Choose a cereal low in sugar for breakfast.
Lunch can be a protein drink.
And all normal meals at a normal serve. Cut down on potatoes and only have small portions of these.
Walking as much as you can.
