Question
How should children with asthma manage their diet?
Answer
Carrots, as a food, have the effects of expectorating and relieving cough, smoothing the flow of Qi and digestion, and clearing the intestines and stomach. They can improve a child’s appetite and regulate Qi. They contain abundant vitamin C and provitamin A, vitamin B, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and other nutrients, as well as components such as polysaccharides, hydrolized pectin, adenine, and arginine. These components help improve the condition of pediatric asthma.
