The incidence of asthma continues to increase impacting on the ability to learn, work and enjoy life. In addition, the list of triggers appears to be increasing so that it appears impossible to avoid setting off an asthma attack.To address this, more inhalers and steroids are being prescribed on a daily basis. Steroids can have long term effects which include, impairing your immune system's ability to work thinning your skin and promoting abdominal obesity.When the immune system is impaired whether from poor nutrition, medication or other factors there is an increased risk of respiratory infection. Antibiotics and further steroids are prescribed leading to a merry go round of ill health.The impact of nutrition is very rarely ever considered for the treatment of asthma yet hospitals do administer some important nutrients in cases of asthma that do not appear to be responding to normal measures. If diet is built around these nutrients then the risk for asthma attacks is considerable reduced and, in some cases becomes non-existent thus reducing the need for antibiotics, inhalers and steroids with all the side effects that come with them.Brittle asthma is a slight different form of respiratory problem. This is covered in this book so that individuals and carers of those with breathing problems can understand the difference and respond appropriately.The author is a medical nutritionist and researcher with over 50 years of research in nutrition and how it can be adapted to promote health. At the end of it all you may ask yourself if this condition is the result of nutrient deficiencies given the wide ranging disruption to the body that can be caused by them. Why do deficiencies occur and are the Recommended Daily Intakes for nutrients useful> .
