Question
What are the dietary taboos for asthmatic children? Can they eat foods like beef and mutton?
Answer
The dietary principle for asthmatic children should focus on light, easy-to-digest, and balanced nutrition. It is recommended to consume a variety of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and to avoid excessive intake of sweets, salty foods, or overly cold or hot foods. It is especially important to avoid spicy, fried, and fatty foods. For asthmatic children with weaker constitutions, appropriate dietary therapy can be practiced when the condition is stable. For example, blending walnuts with honey for consumption once a week, eating snails with minced meat once a week, or cooking white fungus braised duck, all of which have the effects of tonifying the body and moistening the lungs to relieve asthma.
