Dr Joshi says that asthma patients should change their routine and diet according to the season.

As soon as winter comes, troubles start for the patients suffering from Asthma and other respiratory problems. These problems start due to cold air, pollution and dangerous smog.

This is because our airways start to shrink due to cold, dry air and changing temperature. In this season, such patients need special care.
The effect of changing weather is visible not only in cities but also in places like Rishikesh-Haridwar. The problem of smog is also increasing here on the banks of the Ganges.
Asthma patients should not go out in very cold weather. Apart from this, do not exercise early in the morning. When you go out in such cold, you come back with smog in your lungs instead of fresh oxygen.
 
Change lifestyle according to the season
Doctors say that asthma patients should change their routine and diet according to the season. Especially in winters because the winter season is a viral season and increases the risk of an asthma attack.
Therefore, focus only on breathing exercises in winter. Also, do not go out in the very cold. Try not to go from cold to hot and from hot to cold all of a sudden. It can also give you a cold or fever.
Take special care of hygiene
Asthma patients should take special care of hygiene. Dirty and dusty soil in the house neither looks good nor is it good for your health. So it is better to keep it away from your home. Apart from this, the ventilation in the house should also be good.

What do doctors say on Omicron?
Omicron has three times or five times more spread than Delta. Its infection rate is high, but it is not too dangerous. If your immunity is good then it will not do much harm.
The vaccine is a big weapon with the help of which you can defeat Omicron. Because it is not affecting the vaccinated people as seriously. Therefore, if you have been ignoring the vaccine till now, then get the vaccine. Adopt Kovid Appropriate Behavior which means using sanitiser, washing hands frequently, applying the mask, follow social distancing.
What kind of mask is best for an asthma patient
Dr Joshi says that asthma patients should not wear reusable masks. That means a cloth mask or any such mask that you wash and use. Because after washing, we dry it in the sun, in such a situation the particles present in the air can stick to its fibre.

They may also contain particles that make you allergic. Such people should only wear disposable masks. The most important thing is to wear a mask throughout the day. Do not touch the mask repeatedly. Use one mask only once and throw it away.

Diet Dos & Don'ts
We should not gulp and eat in one go. This leaves less space for the movement of the diaphragm. It is better to take a break and eat little by little.

Eat fresh and make fresh, throw the stale food kept in the fridge directly in the dustbin. Do not collect waste material in your stomach after eating it, eat lots of fruits and drink water.
