Enteric Coated Fish Oil and Asthma
One of my cats had to have surgery, so I'm stuck enjoying the 70 degree weather in Florida rather than making the long trek back to Long Island I had planned. Oh well.
A friend of mine coached girls basketball for many years, and over that time he had a small handfull of them suffer from what is called "sports" or "exercise induced" asthma. The vigorous exercise triggered an acute narrowing of the airways, making it very hard for them to breathe.
An inhaler and 30 minutes of rest would work just about 99% of the time. Most kids with asthma avoid this problem altogether by not playing sports, which is a shame. Especially when misinformed parents support this decision, which means no exercise for the kid at all.
The way it was handled on the team was pretty remarkable. The affected girl would come out of the game, the inhaler would be brought out, usually by a teammate, and one of the assistant coaches would watch, while other girls administered treatment, relaxing the girl with the asthma attack, and getting her breathing back to normal.
Then the girl would get back in the game as if nothing had happened.
I've just seen a study showing that a low salt diet combined with pharmaceutical grade fish oil supplementation reduces the incidence of bronchoconstriction, or "sports" asthma.
In the study, done at the University of Indiana in 2006, the post-exercise lung function of participants, adults with mild to moderate persistant asthma, improved by about 64 per cent... and their use of emergency inhalers decreased by about 31 per cent, when they consumed a low salt diet, supplemented with pharmaceutical grade fish oil, for the period of the study.
There was a key finding in the study that grabbed my attention. While on the diet and supplementing with fish oil, airway pro-inflammatory cells and markers were reduced in the participants. These are responsible for airway inflammation and airway obstruction.
So where are kids these days getting all their salt, which is a key factor?
Doritos, potato chips, frozen pizza, hot dogs, and most microwavable food. Tons of salt.
And if you're around kids, you know they're putting this stuff away by the pound.
I advise you to get rid of this stuff if it's in your home. And everyone will benefit if you start introducing your kids to better food.
And enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil isn't just for yourself, it's for the whole family. It's never too late to start everyone on the path to healthy eating and living.
Enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil plus exercise and good food will mean your chances of contracting this form of asthma may be slim indeed. - 17269
