Obesity and asthma

Most people who are overweight have difficulty breathing and their breathing is accompanied by wheezing. Usually, in such a situation, the finger of blame goes towards asthma. It is also possible that the patient has a history of asthma, but with weight gain, its symptoms appear more. In fact, the relationship between obesity and asthma is a two-way relationship and both are the cause and effect of each other. In simpler words, obesity causes asthma and asthma causes the patient to gain weight.

People suffering from pulmonary complications should avoid consuming fatty foods and use vegetable oil in food preparation.

Also, the use of salty and high-calorie artificial snacks such as chips, puffs, biscuits and chocolate is harmful for people with lung problems.

Losing weight in general is a big step towards health for any obese person. But for asthma patients, weight loss works like a miracle. Based on research and tests, weight loss in asthmatic patients improves their asthma symptoms.

Weight loss is always considered as one of the most basic asthma treatment options for obese patients. Although other things like quitting smoking and avoiding allergy triggers should also be taken into account, reducing excess weight is a key factor in asthma treatment.

Since breathing is the most vital function of the body to be alive, any disturbance in it should be fixed as soon as possible. 

Obese people suffer from acid reflux more than others, and this aggravates asthma symptoms. Sleep apnea, or sleep apnea, is a condition that leads to breathing problems and reduced oxygen levels in the body during the night. It is also more common in obese people and is often accompanied by asthma-like symptoms such as wheezing and shortness of breath.
