Asthma flares can be triggered by a variety of factors, and researchers are exploring whether certain diets, particularly plant-based ones, might play a role in reducing these episodes. Funded by the American Lung Association, a new study led by Dr. Jing Gennie Wang is examining how long-term exposure to air pollution interacts with dietary habits, aiming to uncover whether specific eating patterns can help control asthma, particularly in women who are more likely to suffer from uncontrolled symptoms.

Exercise is important for overall health as well as lung health, and there are many benefits of physical activity for people living with asthma.
