Too Much of Processed Meat May Worsen Your Asthma

Here is finding in today’s google health section:
“Cured and processed meat is rich in nitrites, which may have a role in airway inflammation — a typical feature of asthma, the study said. The findings showed that individuals who consumed four or more weekly servings of cured and processed meat were 76 per cent more likely to experience worsening asthma symptoms.

This could include difficulty in breathing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Being overweight or obese, which was previously linked to worsening asthma, accounted for just 14 per cent of this association, thereby suggesting that meat intake was independently linked to symptoms.”

According to Chinese Medicine, this finding is quite reasonable. Too much proceed meat can create wet/damp and damp heat inside the digestion system. This is Yin disease which can affect Yang Qi and subdued the lung function.

Acupuncture and herbs can both help in this situation.
