So as not easy to relapse, each patient's asthma triggers asthma are advised to learn as well as regulate his diet. According to a new study, patients with asthma should have a diet which is low in fat but high in fiber.
In this study, researchers looked at 137 patients with asthma and 65 healthy people and do not have asthma. Each participant was asked to complete several questionnaires about their diet. Researchers also did blood tests, including tests to look for markers of inflammation that of the participants.
From there it was found that participants who ate more fat (as much as five grams a day) increased airway inflammation, which is often associated with symptoms of asthma.
"Fat is considered important for asthma patients because it is pro-inflammatory and can reduce the bronchodilator response (rescue inhaler)," said Bronwyn Berthon from the University of Newcastle, Australia as reported by LiveScience, Tuesday (11/06/2013).
But on the other hand, lower fiber intake also seems to be beneficial for asthma patients. In this study, all participants were asked to reduce their intake of at least five grams of fiber per day. "Because the lower fiber intake associated with poor lung function and increased respiratory tract inflammation in asthma patients," he added.
Researchers also showed that every increase in fat consumption by 10 grams per day, then the opportunity for participants suffering from severe asthma also increased to 48 percent, even after the participants to consider the amount of calories consumed participants.
Only Berthon warned if the link between diet and asthma in this study are not causal, but it is just a causal relationship. Researchers also claim the reason behind the link between diet and asthma is not clear. For Berthon it claims to want to dig deeper on this regard given the high risk of asthma acute asthma attacks are deadly.
In fact the study also found a strong association between asthma and obesity. Berthon revealed that asthma is not only influenced by how much food is consumed but also the type of food.
The study has been published in the journal Respirology in April 2013.
