Just no way around it, exercise is vital to your long-term health program. We simply all need to exercise and if we don't we are asking for trouble. Exercise affects just about every area of your life and can radically improve conditions you had no idea it would influence, like cancer and as this study shows, asthma.

This study illustates another important characteristic of exercise in that it is best viewed like a drug that needs to be precisely prescribed to achieve maximum benefits. Most people believe, however, if they merely invest some time, somehow exercise will magically give them all the benefits they're seeking.

To achieve the incredible benefits exercise has to offer, it needs to provide a significant cardiovascular stress to induce biochemical changes, like increasing mitochondria in the muscle to burn fat while one is sleeping.

It is also possible to overexcise and this Saturday I am running an article that clearly demonstrates that.

In addition to exercise there are a number of simple and highly effective lifestyle modifications that should radically improve the quality of breathing in those who have asthma.

• Increase fish or cod liver oil and reduce your intake of regular vegetable oils. This maybe the single most important nutritional intervention you can make as it will radically the inflammation associated with asthma, and won't damage your bones like prednisone.
• Consider using Vitamin E
• Tomatos have high amounts of lycopene that should help asthma
• Avoid using Tylenol as that may worsen athma
• Write about your worries. This simple act has a profound positive benefit on improving asthma.
