Diet therapy for obesity and bronchial asthma

Obesity and bronchial asthma are diseases that often accompany each other. Studies show that obesity increases the risk of developing bronchial asthma and makes it worse. In such cases, it is important to apply a comprehensive approach to treatment, including diet therapy. Personalized diet therapy can help patients not only reduce body fat, but also improve lung function and relieve asthma symptoms. In this article we will consider the basic principles of dietary therapy for such patients, as well as the relationship between diet, obesity and bronchial asthma. Material and methods. Analysis of literature over the past 15 years using databases dataPubMed, eLIBRARYby key words: “obesity”, “bronchial asthma”, “systemic inflammation”, “diet”. Results. Obesity has been shown to be accompanied by chronic inflammation, which can aggravate the inflammatory process in the airways in bronchial asthma. Studies show that diet therapy has a direct effect on inflammatory processes in the body. The diet, which contains a large amount of simple carbohydrates and saturated fats, plays an important role in causing systemic inflammation in obesity and worsening symptoms of bronchial asthma. On the other hand, studies show that a diet rich in antioxidants and polyunsaturated fatty acids can reduce inflammation in the body and improve control of asthma in obese patients. Conclusion. A number of studies have been carried out on dietary therapy for patients with obesity and asthma, but their results are contradictory and require further consideration.
