Fight With Vitamins
By David Klein

Asthma is a lung disease very common to kids. This disease
attacks following a trigger or an allergen. When it does, the
small airways in the lungs narrow and swell. attacks can
be anywhere from mild to life threatening. It is very important
for people who are suffering from this disease to always take
their medications and never ignore their condition once they
feel difficulty in breathing.

But more than medical treatment, prevention is the best cure
for asthma. While doctors can prescribe millions of drugs to
treat this disease, there is a more natural way to combat it.
And that would be through vitamins.

Vitamins are the essential substances needed by the body. And
of all types of vitamins, Vitamin C is the best candidate to
treat this disease.

Cure with Vitamin C:

Vitamin C is long regarded to be the vitamin that ensures the
body of a healthier immune system.

This vitamin is most helpful if the cause of is
allergens. But aside from strengthening the body's immune
system, Vitamin C is also a good antioxidant.

It helps free the body of harmful toxins that could give rise
not only to but to a host of other diseases as well.

Aside from Vitamin C, there are other Vitamins that can be
vital in the treatment of asthma. Beta Carotene or Vitamin A for
instance, can protect the lungs. It makes sure that the mucus
membranes of the lungs are good an intact. The membranes ensure
the health of this vital organ.

Vitamin B6 for Asthma:

Intensive research and studies have lead experts to the
conclusion that deficiency in this B vitamin could cause asthma.

They have found out that asthmatic patients tend to have high
kynurenic acid and xanthurenic acid content in their urines.

These two acids are produced if the metabolism of serotonin and
tryptophan are altered, which is a direct result of the
deficiency of vitamin B6.

Vitamin B3 To Prevent Attacks:

Role of vitamin B3 in the body, as far as is concerned,
is somehow similar to Vitamin C.

This vitamin is believed to prevent attack caused by
allergens.

That is because vitamin B3 produces an antihistamine effect in
the body.

Vitamin D and Vitamin E can also be used to cure because
they can help in strengthening the body's immune

system. Asthma
has been a major health problem since the 17the century. Thanks
to these two vitamins, people were able to develop stronger
bodies that can fight off the detrimental effects of the disease
altogether.

Vitamins can be found naturally in the foods that we eat or in
specialized chemical supplements. To make sure that your body
gets its recommended daily allowance of the essential vitamins,
be sure that you eat fruits and vegetables that are rich in
them. Citrus fruits are good sources of Vitamin C. Yellow and
orange vegetables are rich in Vitamin A. Add these foods to your
daily diet and you will be surely cured of in no time.

For vitamins that can't be obtained directly from foods, there
are many over-the-counter supplements that are available in the
market today. The B complex vitamins are good examples of
vitamins that are not readily available from food as the body
synthesizes them. For these types of vitamins, you can take the
especially formulated pills and capsules to make sure your body
don't get deficient with them.
