Breathing health concerns rank up there in importance, and asthma is the most common breathing ailment outside of lung cancer and smoking related health problems that affect the American population. For those who are unsure, asthma is a constriction of the airways that lead to the alveoli in the lungs, where air is trapped and oxygen is passively diffused across the membrane into the blood to be pumped back to the heart via the pulmonary vein for circulation, then by the left ventricle into the aorta throughout the entire body. There are many reasons for this constriction of the vessels, but mainly they are caused by inadequacies in diet.
There are many important nutrients called electrolytes that are crucial in water management and maintaining a water balance in the body. Without proper electrolytes, health concerns like asthma grow in their ability to negatively impact a person on a day to day basis, or limit their exercise capacity. Electrolytes most commonly known are sodium, potassium, and chloride. Sodium chloride is table salt and is very easy to get, and potassium is usually normal in people who take a vitamin supplement and eat a balanced diet. Other crucial parts to water balance are calcium and magnesium based on their function in smooth and skeletal muscle function. Calcium is the step prior to actual muscle contraction, and magnesium follows. Muscle contraction, as well as respiration, use up significant amounts of fluid, and fluid replacement becomes very important in those suffering from asthma.
Dehydration is often thought to be the main cause of airway constriction, and if proper nutrition and water intake are achieved, asthma attacks can be greatly reduced.
