Asthma is on the increase and in
spite of the drugs it still it kills thousands of
people every year. Over 5 million people
suffer this easily preventable disease with the
correct nutritional program.
Cold weather, when your body temperature drops,
increases breathing difficulties massively.
You become can also be dangerously vulnerable to
nasty strains of flu that flourish in winter.
This is not only true for older people, but for
anyone with any chronic lung diseases.
If you are in one of these vulnerable groups, it's
essential to keep yourself warm and stay as healthy
as you can during winter. Wear clothes made with
wool, cotton, or fleecy synthetic fibers.
Make sure you eat a balanced diet from all the real
food groups and stop eating the known causes
such as bread, pastry, biscuit, breakfast cereals,
rice, potatoes and pasta.
Stock up on real food groups
such as fresh vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds,
beans, fish, eggs, meat, fish, eggs and pulses
(beans) and excludes all foods containing fat and sugar. Have a
good hearty breakfast (vegetable omelette, poached
egg on spinach, beans, egg and tomatoes etc), at
least one other hot meal a day, 1 raw food meal per
day (salad with beans or fish), and 3 pieces of
fruit between meals.
Drink 8 glasses of water per day
(studies show that this reduces attacks).
Most importantly of all, proper breathing (from the
diaphragm) can dramatically reduce asthma attacks.
This also enables a regime of moderate exercise that
helps to oxygenate the body tissue.

One
of the most exciting nutrients in recent years which
is gaining a good reputation in preventing asthma
attacks, is Coleus
Forshkolii.
How
it works
Asthma
is characterized by a hyper-response of the trachea
and bronchi to various stimuli, which results in a
narrowing of the airways in the lung. Mast cells are
intimately involved in releasing chemical mediators
that enhance or inhibit the asthmatic attack. Mast
cells have receptors for cAMP and cGMP. CAMP
inhibits the release of histamine; cAMP is released
under the stimulation of the enzyme adenylate
cyclase. The receptor that activates this enzyme is
the beta-receptor. Drugs that are beta-receptor
agonists enhance cAMP release, and inhibit histamine
release, which eases the asthmatic attack. The
relative ratios of cAMP and cGMP have a direct
consequence on whether an asthma attack will occur.
The problem with drugs is their considerable side
effects. Steroids have unpleasant side effects
including: Inhibiting growth, stomach upset, weight
gain and thinning of bone density.
It is the ability of C. Forshkolii to
activate intracellular cAMP that makes it so
valuable as a therapeutic component of AsthmaEnd.
Forskolin stimulates the enzyme adenylate cyclase to
release cAMP. cAMP levels rise, that inhibiting the
release of chemical mediators. This relaxes
bronchial smooth muscle and prevents bronchi-spasm.
Coleus
Forshkolii supplementation shows benefits where low cAMP is a known
factor for various conditions:

...Athletes
who experience shortness of breath and other
asthma-like symptoms after exercise may benefit from
fish oil capsules, researchers report.
In a small study, elite athletes who normally
experienced asthma-like symptoms after exercising
had less severe symptoms after adding fish oil
capsules to their diet...

CHOLESTEROL |
|
 |
|
...Patients
with atherosclerosis lose weight on a high fat,
no-starch Atkins-style followed for 6 weeks, without
increasing their blood fat (lipid) levels.
Those results come from a study involving 23 obese
patients with documented atherosclerotic heart
disease. All of the patients were being treated with
cholesterol-lowering "statin" drugs, but
no changes were made to their drugs or the dosing
during the study.
The participants were instructed to consume half
of their calories as saturated fat for 6 weeks.
Other food sources were permitted with the exception
of starches, according to a report in the Mayo
Clinic Proceedings medical journal...

...U.S.
investigators found that women who began a walking
program after age 50 and kept it up over a 14 year
period were less likely to have trouble with
day-to-day activities such as getting dressed,
shopping and using public transportation than women
who never exercised.
Participants in the walking program were encouraged
to walk at least 7 miles each week, either alone or
in a group...
