Asthma Affects Children and Adults

Children and adults who suffer from Asthma are becoming more and more common. Children are smaller and are more prone to many different types of diseases. The most prominent one for small children is asthma. As they grow older the symptoms of Asthma seems to lesson but it never goes away fully. Treatment and a good diagnoses from your doctor can help you determine if your child or you suffer from asthma. Out of 20 million people suffering from Asthma, 9 million of those are children. The scary part is that this number keeps getting bigger and bigger every year. It is something that should be watched for mostly in children and diagnosed early if possible.

Treatments can vary depending on the age of the person. We are all so different that the treatments have to be made specific to your needs. Allergy induced Asthma is the most common among adults, so if you or your child has bad allergies you may want to watch the pollen counts closely. You or your child could end up developing Asthma symptoms due to pollen. Since there is no good explanation of why Asthma continues to rise so fast, the best thing you can do is be aware of your surroundings. It is best to be watchful and alert to possible asthma triggers in your areas. Children are more likely to get Asthma than adults because of their small bodies and how vulnerable they are to pollens, air pollution and even insect bites. Adults have a larger body that gives them an advantage to help overcome many things. By having a bigger body mass, our bodies can absorb more pollutants that unfortunately our children cannot.

Between 70% and 80% of adults and children suffer from seasonal allergies. That number continues to rise every year due to many different factors. One factor is our world's air pollution. Take diesel exhaust for example. Many of the particle emissions from diesel exhaust have been found to cause cancer. When the drugs were made for inhalers, scientists tested many particulate sizes to find out what would be the best size for the inhalers to use, so the medications could reach into the deepest parts of your lungs. The size they found to be the most effective was 2.5 microns. The size of particulates that come from diesel engine exhaust as you can guess is exactly 2.5 microns. What this means is the particles from diesel exhaust is going to the deepest parts of your lungs. With so many toxins and chemicals on our planet, our bodies are in a constant state of battle to clean up and get rid of these toxins. The bad part is that our bodies are losing this battle.

We are bombarded daily with many different types of chemicals and toxins. These toxins play a large role in the contributing factors surrounding who gets Asthma. If there was a way to remove these toxins and metals from our bodies would you take it? I believe with the removal of these toxins, the problems of asthma affecting more and more young children could start to lower, instead of the constant rising asthma statistic problem we have today. The problems we face today are only going to get worse because we continue to manufacture products and chemicals that pollute the air we breath and the water we drink. There are ways we can fight this growing problem and that is to take something natural that can take out all the bad that we take in each day. Then and only then can our bodies heal themselves.
