I am 30 and my asthma hardly acts up anymore, but almost every year in the fall, it's terrible. I'm puffing on my inhaler every couple of hourse. Does anyone else experience this this time of year? It's especially bad this year, and I had the flu a little over a week ago. I doubt that has much to do with it, otherwise it would have acted up when I had it...

Could it be mold spores? Inside/outside all over the place. With cooler temps, it seems the rain leaves everything damp for too long. Diet? I read this in a blog: Why Does It Work? I think there are at least five reasons why the paleolithic diet is effective against asthma: The diet improves the Omega-3/Omega-6 ratio, which is effective against inflammatory conditions. The diet is high in vitamin D. Vitamin D levels are inversely correlated with asthma symptoms. The diet is low in lectins, gluten, and casein a1, all of which which are associated with “leaky gut syndrome.” Whole, undigested proteins (as opposed to amino acids) directly entering your bloodstream via your intestines can trick your immune system into attacking its own tissues (resulting in chronic inflammation). The diet is relatively low in carbohydrates, which helps keep plasma serotonin levels from getting too high (which can trigger bronchoconstriction). The diet is very high in phytonutrients, many of which have anti-inflammatory effects. Asthma is primarily an allergic disease — the immune system reacts with inflammation and airway constriction to factors in the environment (pollen, bacteria, viruses, molds, proteins) that it has become sensitized to. The paleo diet has the effect of making the immune system less “twitchy” — less prone to autoimmunity and inflammation. How I Cured My Asthma With One Simple Lifestyle Change | J.D. Moyer
