Asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways, making it difficult to breathe. Symptoms include chest tightness, wheeze, shortness of breath, and coughing. Exacerbations (asthma ‘attacks’) cause spasm of the airways which can result in death if untreated. This illustration shows the changes in the airway which cause these symptoms.

Cherry season starts this month, who’s with us face down in a bowl? The benefits of these delicious beauties are awesome, as they’re full of antioxidants and are proven to help painful inflammatory conditions.
-
The typical Western diet tends to be too high in protein, which can result in high levels of uric acid and elevated markers for inflammation – the cause of swelling, sensitivity, pain and redness involved in the seemingly unrelated conditions we’ve highlighted – asthma, eczema and rosacea.
-
But great news: eating cherries reduces the levels of uric acid in the urine according to a study in the Journal of Nutrition, 2003. In fact, eating 2 servings of sweet cherries led to a 15% reduction of uric acid, and nitric oxide and C-reactive protein levels – which are associated with inflammatory disease.
-
Another study in the same journal 10 years later concluded that eating cherries reduced some biomarkers associated with inflammatory diseases.
-
The powerful anthocyanins and carotenoids (antioxidants) and cell-renewing Vitamin C nourishment from cherries can help to ‘switch off’ damaging inflammatory pathways involved in asthma, eczema and rosacea. If you’re suffering from any of these conditions, cherries are surely a tasty way to help!
-
How to and other helpers:
Eat 1 serving of fresh cherries (about 20) first thing in the morning or 30min-1hr before meals. If you’re dealing with active inflammation, have 2 servings a day.
If you eat a lot of protein, or are under stress, this could be exacerbating your condition, try reducing protein – filling up instead on colourful vegetables and fruit, and try 10 mins of mindful breathing each morning to set yourself up for the day.
@OrganicBurst Acai Berry and Goji Berry are both fantastic sources of antioxidants and a perfect way to boost the effects of fresh cherries. Take 1-2 servings per day or try our Acai Cherry Smoothie Bowl. Go to our wellness hub www.chocandjuice.com and search ‘cherry’.

Same girl, 1 month apart.
The right is me creating my makeup looks over on my main page @thechristinamaria and the left is me in A&E last night with what’s been a downwards spiral with completely uncontrolled asthma after contracting a chest infection.
The not so glamorous side of my life isn’t one I used to share often before, but that’s why I created this space, somewhere for us all to feel we can be real and express our frustrations of living with chronic conditions. Somedays we can uplift and others... well... we just need to be heard.
I have been suffering with a chest infection for 3 weeks, and ever since I had whooping cough a few years ago, any minor cough virus I catch turns into a severe one and then into a chest infection which always seems to set my asthma off and the past week has been spent in and out of hospital. Last night I spent it in A&E with IV steroids and a nebuliser for what feels like the millionth time this week.
I wish I could say that there’s some magical medicine that’s going to help my lungs get out of this mess, but it doesn’t seem to be the case and I won’t be surprised if I end up back there in a few hours.
Asthma is no joke and it’s the scariest chronic condition I have, I thought I’d be used to it considering I’ve had it since I was 13 months old, but as it’s progressively getting worse I can’t help but feel so defeated.
If I’m not battling my lungs I’m battling the chronic cystitis and the M.E and I’m feeling beyond overwhelmed with it all. Somedays I think it’s ok to just say GAAAD DAMN IT I need a break from this body.
Sorry for such a negative post today but I like to keep it real on this page, and hope that it gives you the courage to be yourselves too even with chronic illness, not to be ashamed of having to say I am not ok, and most importantly to know that you are not alone.
VULNERABILITY- I hate it, I barely acknowledge it but there are occasions when we have to confront it- ASTHMA! FYI I AM OK! Resting, Relaxing and Recovering! Sharing this post for a number of reasons:
1. OUR KIDS: This was the first time my daughter saw me debilitated and vulnerable. I couldn’t front or mask it. She was sweet and caring but also told me that she has never seen me sick or crying. As parents we sometimes (unconsciously or not) mask our vulnerabilities thinking that we somehow protect them when all it does is shape their definition/perception of emotions. We appear invincible on an almost inhuman-like manner! Showing and/or expressing vulnerabilities are ok. They understand. I will work on this going forward. **Nai-K looks so unbothered in this pic *
2. SUPPORT: I am proud and stubborn to a fault. I am least likely to say something is wrong Luckily for me I am blessed with a teeny but ROBUST support group that rallies (without me asking), takes control and executes accordingly. It’s always times like these, when friendships are tested. So blessed am I that mine have been tried, tested and approved S/O @Garfene & Esco *the rest of my friends and mother are going to call me after they see this post *
3. HEALTH is wealth! It took less than 5 hours to go from perfectly normal to having an asthma attack (due to the onset of flu-like symptoms). To my fellow asthmatics the struggle is real but be well and always be as prepared as possible. We rebuke the flu and allergies in the Name of Jesus!
4. REALITY CHECK: People post things that they want you to see. Life isn’t as perfect as many would like you to believe. I am always up and about, energetic and bubbly but I have these days. Reminder: Don’t try to live someone’s else’s life or live up to expectations because half of the time you have no idea what their vulnerabilities really are!
