Outdoor Air Pollution
Pollution caused by industrial emissions and automobile exhaust can cause an asthma episode. In large cities that have air pollution problems the number of emergency department visits for asthma episodes goes up when the air quality is very poor.
Cockroach Allergen
You may find cockroaches any place where food is eaten and crumbs are left behind. Decreasing exposure to cockroaches in the home can help reduce asthma attacks. Remove as many water and food sources as you can because cockroaches need food and water to survive.
Pets
Furry pets may trigger an attack. The simplest solution to this situation is to find another home for the pet. However, some pet owners may be too attached to their pets or unable to locate a safe new home for the animal. Any animal causing an allergic reaction should not be allowed in the bedroom. Pets should be kept outside as much as possible and bathed weekly. Frequent vacuuming will reduce the presence of the allergen. If the room has a hard surface floor, it should be damp mopped weekly.
Mold
When mold is inhaled, it can cause asthma attacks. Eliminating mold throughout the home can help control asthma attacks. In hot, humid climates, this may require the use of air conditioning and/or dehumidifiers. Fixing water leaks and cleaning up any mold in the home can also help.
Other Triggers
Strenuous physical exercise; adverse weather conditions like freezing temperatures, high humidity, and thunderstorms; and some foods and food additives and drugs can trigger asthma episodes. Strong emotional states also can lead to hyperventilation and an asthma episode.
How Is Asthma Treated?
You can control your asthma and avoid an attack by taking your medicine as prescribed and avoiding the triggers that can cause an attack. It’s just as important that you remove the triggers in your environment that you know make your asthma worse.
Medicine for asthma is different for each person. It can be inhaled or taken as a pill and comes in two types—quick-relief and long-term control. Quick-relief medicines control the symptoms of an asthma attack. If you are using your quick-relief medicines more and more you should visit your health-care provider to change your asthma management plan. Long-term control medicines make you have fewer and milder attacks, but they don’t help you if you’re having an attack.
Asthma medicine can have side effects. Most are mild and go away on their own. Ask your health-care provider about the side effects of your medicines.
The important thing to remember is that you can control your asthma. With your doctor’s help, make your own asthma management plan so you know what to do based on your own symptoms. Decide who should have a copy of your plan and where he or she should keep it.. And remember to take your long-term control medicine even when you don’t have symptoms.
The Role of Mangosteen
Problems related or leading to asthma include:
- Childhood infections
- Exposure to various allergens
- Air pollution
- Inflammation
According to documented research, the xanthones in the mangosteen juice have anti-viral qualities that can reduce susceptibility to a number of viral infections incurred in childhood; potent anti-allergy effects that; well documented antioxidant properties that can help to counteract the free radical damage sustained by the body as a result of exposure to polluted air; and anti-inflammatory properties that may act on several critical levels to reduce or even prevent the inflammatory process that is initiated at the beginning of an asthma attack. In short, mangosteen may have properties capable of targeting all four pathologies involved in the evolution of asthma.
Xanthone Juice™ is the first and only dietary product with the highest xanthone content.. Manufactured in North America, under the strictest guidelines of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, it is made up of only the highest quality mangosteen mixed with delicious fruits and extracts.
The first commercial product in the Philippines using the whole mangosteen fruit, Xanthone Juice’s concentrated formula allows for more of xanthones’ health benefits with smaller doses -maximizing dosage efficiency while providing options for stronger dosaging when deemed necessary. Since the xanthones in mangosteen are fat-soluble, Xanthone Juice should be taken with a meal or snack, either just before, during, or after eating, to allow for maximum absorption.
