How to Raise a Kid with Asthma (Part 2)
Raising a child with asthma can be challenging due to the necessary precautions, but it is entirely possible to do so with love and natural methods.
Natural Asthma Treatment: The Role of Diet
In the first part, I emphasized the importance of adjusting your child's (and family's) diet as the cornerstone of natural asthma treatment. You might wonder, "Where will my growing child get protein from if we adopt a vegetarian diet?"
Rest assured, fruits and vegetables provide ample protein. Dr. Stanley Burroughs notes that a day’s protein requirement is minimal?"about the weight of a nickel. While protein requirements are a topic of extensive debate, ensuring your child gets adequate vitamins and minerals is more pressing.
Fruits and vegetables such as bananas, dates, avocados, olives, cabbage, lettuce, durian, young coconuts, and even apples offer sufficient protein and nutrients for growing children and adults alike.
Quick Considerations for Diet:
1. Mother’s Milk: It’s only about 2% protein, which is ideal for a baby’s first three years, highlighting minimal protein needs.
2. Carbohydrates Rule: Approximately 98% of people are naturally inclined to sweet flavors, underscoring carbohydrates as a primary dietary need.
3. Protein in Excess: John Robbins' "Diet for a New America" reveals 40 million Americans suffer from diseases related to excessive protein, compared to just a few cases of deficiency.
With diet adequately covered, let's explore other aspects of raising a child with asthma.
Physical Fitness and Asthma
Introducing mild exercises like Yoga can significantly aid in restoring your child’s fitness. Many local YMCAs offer yoga classes for kids, or you can explore online resources for simple routines like Sun Salutations. These exercises are not only beneficial but also enjoyable for kids. In India, where yoga originated, there are even competitions for these practices.
Yoga can also be beneficial for you as a parent, offering stress relief and a great exercise option.
As your child’s fitness improves, gradually introduce other forms of exercise. Kids naturally love to play, so staying active shouldn’t be an issue.
Additional Tips to Manage Asthma
1. Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes: Try to maintain stable temperatures to prevent asthma attacks.
2. Minimize Dust Mites: Keep your home as dust-free as possible.
3. Use a Humidifier: Especially during cold seasons, to maintain indoor air quality.
4. Ensure Fresh Air Circulation: Regularly ventilate your home with fresh air.
These steps aim to enhance your child’s respiratory health. Always use parental discretion when implementing these suggestions, but hopefully, they will assist you in raising a child with asthma effectively.
