Although experts are not really sure which came first -- do severely ill asthmatic children stay indoors more so that they don't get the vitamin D they need from sun exposure? Or are they more severely ill because their vitamin D levels are low? -- they do feel that a clinical trial of using vitamin D supplements in asthmatic children to see if they reduce asthma severity and exacerbations would be beneficial.

 

Past studies have also shown that apple juice may be beneficial in reducing asthma risk and/or symptoms.

 

It's obvious to me that eating healthy makes sense from an overall health perspective. And if it also helps my asthma, all the better!
