Jerusalem : Boosting Vitamin D levels can help manage asthma in sufferers, a new study has found. Asthma, which inflames and narrows the airways, has no known cure but it can be managed with medication and by avoiding allergens and other triggers. The new study by Tel Aviv University researchers found that catching some rays outside could be a convenient, free way to manage acute asthmatic episodes.
Dr Ronit Confino-Cohen of TAU’s Sackler Faculty of Medicine and her team analysed the medical records largest health care provider. The researchers recommend that people whose asthma cannot be controlled with existing treatments and those with a vitamin D deficiency, supplements may make sense.
