Relief for Asthma Sufferers, by Dr. Mark Pedersen
If you are an asthma sufferer, you know that an asthma attack can be extremely frightening. According to internist Dr. Alan Gaby, an unrecognized food allergy or intolerance is a contributing factor in at least 75% of childhood asthma cases and about 40% of adult cases.
When someone has asthma, the respiratory pathways that carry air in and out of the lungs become inflamed and sensitive to a variety of substances.

In a recent study from Boston University, researchers found that most people who live to 100 and are healthy have genetic variations in common with each other. However, researchers Paula Sebastiani and Thomas T. Perls pointed out that lifestyle factors are critically important in determining whether an individual will develop a disease state even if they have a genetic predisposition for that disease.
Lifestyle factors including regular exercise, keeping one’s weight under control and consuming a diet high in healthy antioxidants can make a tremendous difference in whether disease strikes or not.
