6. Anti-Inflammatory Diet
Foods and supplements that reduce inflammation – like omega 3 fatty acids – may help to fight the inflammation in your airways so you can breathe easier.

Omega 3 fatty acids (found in cold water fish, flax seeds, and walnuts) are particularly anti-inflammatory, but be wary of omega 6 fatty acids (such as canola and sunflower oils, processed grains, and seeds), which have the opposite effects. A multivitamin can give your body a bit of a boost, but a varied, balanced diet is the best way to get the protective qualities of many vitamins and minerals.
