How is it that swimming is good for asthma?
Posted in Diet & Fitness
Chris asked:
I have asthma (minor, but still, I have it), and I've been told that swimming is the best thing an asmatic can do.
Why is that? I know that all arobic exercises are good for your asthma but swimming seems to be the first things people tell you is good. So, why swimming as opposed to say, jogging or biking.
I'm just curious, considering starting a regular swimming workout. earn points online . Thanks.

Swimming helps develop your lungs and increase lung capacity, making lungs stronger and more able to fight off asthmatic attacks.

Because of the humidity. Your also not breathing in dry air and allergens that can trigger an attack.

Swimming is a good exercise but before you do make sure you have a respncible adult with you to supervise, don’t forget your life jacket and inhaler. and possibly allergy medication. Have fun?

It is because swimming starves the lungs of oxygen, causing your breathing tubes to open more to compensate. Much like the “buteyko” method., a natural alternative to medication.
