Learn how to protect yourself from the disease (Asthma).
Hey! According to the Health Care Association, Cardiovascular disease
(CVD Asthma is a chronic (long-term) disease that makes it hard to breathe.
At its worst, asthma can be fatal.
For example : In 2003, asthma killed 287 Canadians. Asthma can't be cured,
but it can be managed. With proper treatment, people with asthma can lead
normal, active lives.
Asthma is a disease of respiratory airways wherein the process of breathing
in a patient becomes obstructed. Sure one must therefore understand the
basic anatomy and physiology of the lung in order to tackle asthma better.
The lung is structured in such a way that the main airway trachea branches
out into smaller respiratory airways called 'bronchi' which further divide
into millions of terminal branches called 'bronchioles'. These can be
compared to branches of a tree bulging out of a main trunk. The smallest
bronchioles open into air sacs called 'alveoli'. In the alveoli exchange
of gases takes place across the blood to purify it. The air anyone breathes
passes in-and-out of the lung through network of airways. Normal airways
are of sufficient size to allow comfortable passage of the air during
breathing.
The good news is that you follow the following steps to prevent or better
manage or reduce your chances of having another disease. Lifestyle changes,
such as choosing foods wisely and being exercise, as well as taking medication
can help you.
