Asthma is the chronic inflammatory disease that affects the airways of the lungs. It is marked by airflow obstruction and bronchospasm which is a temporary narrowing of the bronchi caused by contraction of the muscles in the lung walls and is often reversible. Coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath are its associated symptoms. The causes are complex and could be a result of environmental and genetic interactions. There is no permanent cure for asthma and effort is required for protection from various asthma triggers. Certain foods can boost immunity, dilate bronchi, and improve the overall functioning of lungs.
