The decoction of fenugreek can be made by mixing one tablespoon of fenugreek seeds in a cupful of water. This remedy should be taken once in the morning and once in the evening.home remedieshttp://www.my-naturalhomeremedies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205858407472829816.post-78559586809096745932011-07-01T23:11:23.722+03:002011-07-01T23:11:23.722+03:00@Ken..Thanks for a more medical explanation.@Ken..Thanks for a more medical explanation.Cajetan Barrettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075173157556429867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205858407472829816.post-29591573037197715142011-06-26T20:31:16.046+03:002011-06-26T20:31:16.046+03:00As most of you reading this probably already know,...As most of you reading this probably already know, asthma is caused be an increased, uncontrollable constriction of the bronchiolar airways.<br /><br />The sympathetic nerve system, when activated by running or other "fight or flight" actions, serves to open these airways by releasing epinephrine and norepinephrine. Epi and Norepi activate "beta-2" receptors (proteins) that are located on the lining of the bronchiolar airways.<br /><br />So, yes, running then could be considered a treatment for asthma. It may not immediately alleviate an attack, but you may start to notice less frequent asthma attacks.Ken Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205858407472829816.post-90394547070539057782011-02-01T08:04:55.518+03:002011-02-01T08:04:55.518+03:00I have been looking for a natural way to help with...I have been looking for a natural way to help with my asthma.

Studies have revealed that asthma does run in families, making children of asthmatic parents especially vulnerable to the condition. In addition, children with an early history of infections and continuous exposure to second-hand smoke are far more likely to develop the condition than other children.Home Remedieshttp://www.home-remedies.in/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205858407472829816.post-85316854848674283812010-08-16T23:11:32.348+03:002010-08-16T23:11:32.348+03:00@Bader, Your comment made me take a stock of how I...@Bader, Your comment made me take a stock of how I breathe during running. I had a great opportunity to check it today.<br />I did a 15K run in 1 hour 15 minutes. Every 10 minutes, I was checking how I breathe. This is what I found out.<br />In the initial 5-10 minutes, I was breathing normally (through the nose), with a few breaths through the mouth after every 5-10 seconds. After around 15 minutes, I found that I was breathing through the mouth much more regularly (for example, after every 3 breaths through the nose, I would take a gulp of air using the mouth). After the 30 minute mark, it was mostly breathing though the mouth and in the final 15 minutes, I was almost only breathing through the mouth.<br />So I think it all depends on how you control your breathing and how you deliver the required oxygen to your lungs. If you force yourself to breathe always through the nose, you will restrict oxygen from reaching your lungs - which can't be good for your running.Cajetan Barrettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075173157556429867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205858407472829816.post-80673750130534481912010-08-16T13:43:22.279+03:002010-08-16T13:43:22.279+03:00While there are specific techniques for breathing ...While there are specific techniques for breathing while doing resistance workouts (breathe out during positive force and breathe in during negative force), I have not really paid much attention to breathing during running. During the slower run, I breathe normally (in through the nose and out through the mouth). But I find that this is difficult to do when the intensity increases since you need to draw in more air. In this case, I find myself breathing through both the nose and the mouth.<br />Until you mentioned this, I never really thought about it. However, if you search through the net, the theory seems to support what I had been instinctively doing all the time (i.e. when running hard, it is better to breathe both through the nose and the mouth in order to deliver more oxygen to the lungs).Cajetan Barrettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075173157556429867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6205858407472829816.post-43551854588081492652010-08-16T11:35:32.003+03:002010-08-16T11:35:32.003+03:00One of the many benefits of running.

Something I've been doing lately is breathing ever 1 stroke for 25 meters, then every thrid/fifth/seventh/ninth. The ninth stroke is a killer but by the end of the workout I feel that my lungs have grown in size. The first time I did this workout I started coughing for a bit right after because of the all air I was able to take in.<br /><br />Any tips for breathing while running? I try to inhale from my nose and exhale through my mouth but it’s very hard to maintain when you are under pressure.Badernoreply@blogger.com
