Coping with asthma

Coping with asthma
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

My 6-year-old son has asthma so I try to make sure his diet helps ease it. I give him plenty of grapes, kiwis and melons to eat as they're full of anti-oxidants that help protect the lungs.

My 6-year-old son's asthmatic, but I don't want him to get dependent on drugs for it. Instead he uses a salt pipe which is filled with natural sea salt. As he breathes in, air is sucked through the salt in the pipe before going into his lungs. The Cisca Salt Pipe costs £29.99. Call 0191 373 4425, or order online at www.thesaltpipe.co.uk
