World Asthma Day 2011---Improving Health by Raising The Awareness

Today is world Asthma Day. This is an event organized by the Global Initiative for Asthma to help raise awareness about causes and management of this chronic respiratory condition.

Here are 5 facts to know.

1. Over 20 million Americans alone have asthmas with children counting for more than 50%.

2. Genetics play a large part in determining whether you have the condition. So having this condition doesn’t necessarily mean that you did anything wrong.

3. Environmental conditions that contain large amounts of dust, dust mites, pet dander, mold and mildew spores, smoke or airborne chemicals can greatly exacerbate the condition and even cause the onset of asthma.

4. Medication for chronic and acute management has an important place in a well-tuned management plan. However, they often come with side effects that can be almost as problematic as the condition itself.

5. Avoiding the irritants that cause flare-ups is still the most proactive and non-invasive way to manage. Filtering the air with a high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) air purifier can greatly reduce pollutants and lessen the chances of an attack.
