05.16.17 | I have 3 different prescriptions for it. My doc finally told me i need to move out of California if i ever want to live a normal life and actually breathe. The trees grass and air in gerneral here are like poison to me |
Wolfhorde
05.16.17 | ^ Isn't Cali's climate diverse enough that you could technically just move up North?
@TV: You don't have an inhaler?
Fortunately I mostly "grew out" of my asthma (at least that's what the doc said after my apparently way above average lung function test results) but dry heat and endurance sports still fucking suck.

05.16.17 | I have an inhaler, but it the pain didn't ease up till I took some pain killer later @Wolf
I live in the valley and I'm goin to UC Merced in a few months and the air quality is going to take a noticeable dip cos the Turlock area is badly polluted |

05.16.17 | how is your diet? diet can play a role in asthma |
Wolfhorde
05.16.17 | ^ That is a rather rare occurence though if you're not factoring in allergies as in allergic asthma.
"I have an inhaler, but it the pain didn't ease up till I took some pain killer later @Wolf"
Damn that sounds lame. Never hady any chest pain from asthma tho tbh.

hal1ax
05.16.17 | oh, i'm not saying that the asthma is caused by diet or that it can be extinguished through dietary measures alone--i'm saying that there has been research done on potential correlations between diet and asthma and a lot of people who vastly cleaned up their diet, cutting out lots of processed grain//sugar etc, reported having much less frequent and less severe asthmatic attacks//episodes. |
TVC15
05.16.17 | My diet largely consists of fast food... I'm hoping this changes drastically once I get to college and I don't have to pay out of my own pocket for stuff like fruits and salad; it's sad that fast food is a lot cheaper than healthier alternatives.
I was born with asthma tho, there was complications during my birth which correlated with me having it |
hal1ax
05.16.17 | yea i hear yuh. well that's maybe something to consider? diet wont rid you of your condition but it may help with it, as far as severity of your attacks go anyway |

As a resident of northern california....no |
Wolfhorde
05.17.17 | Dang, then you should probably move out of state.
"i'm saying that there has been research done on potential correlations between diet and asthma and a lot of people who vastly cleaned up their diet, cutting out lots of processed grain//sugar etc, reported having much less frequent and less severe asthmatic attacks//episodes."
Yeah, Idk I'm not sold on that - evidence seems too flimsy and there's no mechanical explanation for it. |
unclereich
05.17.17 | Thats the plan going to nevada eventually. Cali is a shit show regardless so ill be happy to go |
hal1ax
05.17.17 | no mechanical explanation for it? how much do you know about nutrition? physiology? neurology? and i don't give a fuck if you're sold or not, i was just trying to give a heads-up to the dude who made this list, because some of these studies have been compelling. |
hal1ax
05.17.17 | and what i'm saying is that there has been quite a bit of correlational evidence that it can play a role, not implying any causational or 'mechanical' associations, but why would someone with severe asthma not exhaust every known potential treatment avenue. at the very least, it doesn't attenuate your asthma and you become a generally healthier person |
Wolfhorde
05.17.17 | calm down dude lol
All I was trying to get at is that forcing a "U" turn on your diet might not be a viable option given that it needs to be sustainable (and most restrictive diets aren't for many people) and that whether it will affect anything is out in the open. |
Wolfhorde
05.17.17 | Then again, you guys in the U.S. are fucked either way since your health care system is 80% pure garbage. |

Fast food is not cheaper |

Zeneren
05.17.17 | I feel you brother... been a while since my last attack though.
Think Hal1ax is right.
I was shit with my exercise till four or five years ago and honestly it really helps if you do some consistently. Also eat your veg.

Storm In A Teacup
05.17.17 | No. There is always a cheaper healthier alternative to fast food and easily an equally priced healthier meal. Any arguments against this are lazy American trash |

guitarded_chuck
05.17.17 | ha1 bro i think the correlation you're mentioning (bad diet and asthma severity) is probably because people who have a bad diet are more likely to be obese, and obesity does have a positive casual relationship with asthma severity
also that bad diet = poor micronutrient intake which can have a multitude of negative health consequences, some of which almost for sure also have a casual relationship with asthma
tl;dr u r wut u eat btch |
