Salty Foods
Salt is used as a preservative and flavor enhancer in a variety of foods. According to Cutler, eating excessive amounts of salt can lead to worsened asthma symptoms and trigger attacks in some people. While sodium--a term used interchangeably with salt--is necessary for human health, most people reap sufficient amounts from healthy, natural foods. Thus, seasoning your foods with natural herbs or other low-sodium seasoning in place of table salt and avoiding salty processed foods is important. Foods particularly high in sodium include canned soups and chili, processed meats and cheeses, pretzels, potato chips, tortilla chips, crackers, frozen entrees, canned fish and vegetables and gravy mixes.
