Last 2003, my hubby and I decided to get Herbalife supplement from a friend for a promise of better health. Although skeptical, I tried it for my husband to lessen his asthma attacks. Before that, he used to have an asthma attack every single month that prompted me to try out an alternative medicine by looking for food supplements in the market.At the time, I also had a severe acne problem which I didn’t really mind much at all. I thought it will eventually wear itself out and be gone but at age 25, I seriously considered going for a treatment since it has gone worst.

A month after taking Herbalife food supplements, Gus, my husband noticed that he has higher energy level and feels good overall. On the other hand, my skin also looked clearer and less oily.

Seeing the good results, I took it all through my two pregnancies after consulting my physician.

I’m really happy because of the good nutrition I got from these supplements. I have two healthy children and although they are asthmatic like their dad, we don’t have to go to the hospital as much as before when we integrated the food supplements with their usual milk and meals. They have less attacks and now I noticed that when they both reached 1 year and a half there’s no more serious asthma attacks.

Audrick is 3-years-and-6-months while Audrey will be turning 2-years-old a few weeks from now. Both are very active and healthy.

Gus has had no major asthma attacks for 4 years now and has not taken medications for asthma except for his Herbalife daily supplement.

I have clearer skin and no more acne. People tells me that I looked younger now than 5 years ago. Life is good and its really worth investing for your health. We will always recommend taking Herbalife to everybody since it has helped us a lot in our family.

How to Take Care of your Asthmatic Child

One of the chronic disease that is affecting everybody regardless of socio-economic status is asthma. It is most common among children hence proper care and prevention should be on top of your list if you have an asthmatic child.Asthma (Az-muh) is a chronic disease that affects your airways by experiencing attacks of breathlessness and wheezing.

Some have acquired asthma and others through genetic composition.

Although causes of asthma attacks are not totally understood, some prevalent factors for asthma attacks comes from inhaled asthma triggers. These includes:

  • indoor allergens (like house dust mites in bedding, carpets and stuffed furniture, pollution and pet dander)
  • outdoor allergens (such as pollens and moulds)
  • tobacco smoke
  • chemical irritants in the workplace

Some other causes include cold air, extreme emotional arousal like anger or fear and physical exercise.

For children with asthma, it is very important that you choose a pediatrician who is specializing pulmonary infections or other related specialization. Work closely with your doctor and make sure you bring your child for a visit when symptoms occur. Diligently follow his/her medication.

Check the medications since some can trigger asthma attacks like aspirin and other non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs.

Taking care of your asthmatic child requires patience and follow through.Here are simple tips I could recommend:

1. Avoid exposing your child to asthma triggers.

2. Keep your house clean and ventilated.

3. Let him take enough sleep at night (minimum of 8 hours) and in between naps at day time to avoid stress.

4. When at the playground, bring lots of extra shirt and ensure that he has dry shirt on. Sweats that left unnoticed will dry eventually that may cause coughing and soon triggers asthma.

5. Avoid giving them chocolates, peanuts and other foods that might cause allergies.

6. At home, make sure there is enough zyrtec and ventolin nebule just in case. Make sure you buy yourself a nebulizer so you don’t have to rush to the hospital whenever your child has an asthma attack.

7. Let your child take supplements to ensure that he is healthy and has strong immune system. I recommend Herbalife N-R-G tablets and Vitamins and Minerals (Crushed and mixed with milk or juices , half tablet once daily).

With close to four years of taking care of two asthmatic children, I have noticed that letting you child eat the right kind of foods like vegetable and fruits helps so much in ensuring a healthy body hence lesser chance of getting sick.The Herbalife supplements have been very helpful in keeping them healthy and minimizing asthma attacks.

Medications can help only for short - term problems but is not advisable for longer use especially for children.
