Get D for Asthma

"A recent review article, published in the Annals of Asthma,
Allergy and Immunology, found a compelling connection between
vitamin D deficiency and asthma risk. The research suggests you
get some daily exposure to sunlight and consume fish, eggs and
low-fat D-fortified dairy to help ease or prevent lung inflammation.
Also, take a daily vitamin D supplement. Current recommended daily
doses range from 200 to 600 IU; some doctors suggest up to 1,000 IU."

Make sure to talk to your doctor.
