Weight loss possesses long-term benefits for asthma.
For obese patients, lung function is relatively poor due to certain deposition of fat at the lung tissues, which can easily lead to structural changes in the lung interstitium, inducing a decrease in the diffusion capacity of the lungs and thus affecting the respiratory function of the lungs.
Asthma can be induced by indoor and outdoor allergens, occupational allergens, drugs and food, as well as air pollution, smoking, respiratory infections and other factors, leading to the emergence of expiratory dyspnea or episodes of cough, chest tightness and other symptoms.
During an asthma attack, the strength of lung function determines how smoothly the patient can ventilate. When lung function is relatively weak, asthma symptoms will be relatively more severe.
Therefore, losing weight helps to relieve the symptoms during an asthma attack and has a beneficial effect on the quality of ventilation of the patient. Therefore, for people who are overweight or obese and prone to asthma, they need to actively improve their dietary and exercise status, and control their weight as reasonably as possible, which is beneficial to the prevention and control of asthma.
