Enteric Coated Fish Oil Can Help With Asthma

By Dr. Bill

I haven't been able to get back to Long Island so I'm still enjoying the Florida sunshine. One of my cats needs surgery so he has to stay put until Wednesday. So I'm doing my best to suffer through the 70 degree weather.

A friend of mine coached girls basketball for many years, and we got to talking about "sports" or "exercised induced" asthma, when exercise causes acute narrowing of the airways, making it tough to breathe.

99% of the time this was alleviated by the use of an inhaler, and 30 minutes of inactivity. Then, the girl was good to go again. These girls were exceptions to the general rule, in that most kids with this problem opt not to participate in athletics, or anything strenuous. Inactivity is not a good habit to get into at any age, but this is what happens, and many misinformed parents push their kids in this direction, not wanting them to get hurt, or embarrassed.

On my friend's team they had a remarkable system. The other girls would help out with the inhaler while the assistent coach supervised. And the affected girl's breathing would get back to normal as she calmed down.

Then, as if nothing had happened, the girl would leap right back into the game.

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.

The study, which was done in 2006 at the University of Indiana, demonstrated post-exercise lung function of adults with moderate to mild persistant asthma, improved by 64%. Their use of emergency inhalers decreased by roughly 31%.

One of the key findings in the study was that airway pro-inflammatory cells and markers, which are responsible for airway inflammation and subsequent airway obstruction, were reduced, while on the diet and fish oil supplementation.

Where do kids get all the salt, which is a key factor?

Doritos, potato chips, frozen pizza, hot dogs, and most microwavable food. Tons of salt.

If you're around kids much, then you already know they put this stuff away by the quart.

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.

Good food and good exercise, plus enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil, mean your chances of contracting this type of asthma may be very slim indeed. - 17274
