Come on, Asthma UK! - Tell people about the safe, easy to reduce their symptoms! - Just eat less salt and salty food!

Lowering Salt Intake reduces symptoms and increases lung function in people whose asthma is usually triggered by doing sports and physical activity

This article appeared on the website of Asthma UK almost 4 years ago. They don't seem to have given much publicity to the benefits of lowering salt/sodium intake since then. - It seems a shame not to.

***Note added May 2nd 2012: The link I have given above no longer works, and the article to which it refers appears to have been removed from AsthmaUK's website. That's a great shame. AsthmaUK is missing an opportunity to help asthma sufferers to reduce their symptoms and breathe more easily in a simple, cost-free way.

I suggest that AsthmaUK could have a page of low salt meal suggestions or recipes. This simple, safe, drug-free change to eating habits produces massive health benefits, not just to people with asthma. - Come on, Asthma UK! - Get telling people about how they can boost their lung function by cutting down on salt!

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, stroke, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, boost your lung function and improve your health in many other ways without drugs, hunger or expense by eating less salt! - Try it!
