Regular Exercise Reduces Asthma Symptoms.

Just thirty minutes of exercise a day can help relieve the symptoms of asthma in adults.

In a recent study, researchers analyzed physical activity levels among 643 participants previously diagnosed with the chronic respiratory condition. Those who exercised for thirty minutes on a regular basis were almost 2.5 times more likely to have good control of their asthma symptoms than asthma sufferers who didn’t perform the routine exercise.

Lead author Dr. Simon Bacon adds, "Just 30 minutes a day of walking, riding a bike, doing yoga - anything active, really - can result in a significant reduction of asthma symptoms… It would be great to see physicians recommending physical activity to patients with asthma, alongside traditional pharmacological treatments."
