Fasting for Asthma

I am new to Fasting and I need some advice on how to approach it for managing my Allergies and Asthma. Need to get off my steroid inhaler which I take once a day. Experts please advice if fasting can control it to the point that my symptoms become negligible.

Answer

Fasting in general is anti-inflamatory, but you can’t fast forever. Eventually you’ll need to eat again, so I don’t think fasting would be a long term solution. It’s also going to be very slow acting. It’s not like you can start to fast in the middle of an asthma attack. I would expect some mild improvement, but fasting is no substitute for an inhaler.
