Content: The healthier you are, the better you can handle an asthma attack and rebound from it,” says Grayson. It’s also important to point out that some foods and food additives can trigger asthma symptoms. According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), certain foods, such as those containing sulfites (which are found in foods like dried fruits, wine, and processed potatoes) can worsen asthma symptoms in some people and should be avoided. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, food allergies may also increase your risk of asthma attacks, so talk to your doctor if you suspect you may have an allergy to certain foods. Common allergy-causing foods that may interfere with asthma management include peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, shellfish, milk, soy, and wheat. And while a good diet cannot necessarily prevent asthma, there is evidence that eating healthily may reduce your risk of developing asthma. For example, a study published in December 2015 in the journal Lung found that among a group of Peruvian children ages 9 to 19, those who ate a Mediterranean-style diet rich in foods like salmon and other fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, olive oil, fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains were less likely to develop asthma than the children who did not eat this way. A study published in July 2018 in the European Respiratory Journal showed that eating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber may help reduce symptoms and help people gain better asthma control.
