Question
What dietary precautions should asthma patients be aware of?
Answer
Asthma patients should avoid eating foods that may cause allergies or trigger asthma attacks, such as legumes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other foods that can cause bloating, as well as fresh seafood like fish, shrimp, crab, and oysters. Additionally, patients should consume less gas-forming and hard-to-digest food to reduce the possibility of bloating compressing the chest and worsening breathing difficulties.
