For those people who dont know it yet, asthma is a chronic disease. By chronic we mean that it is a type of disease that is long-lasting and recurring, which means there is no cure. By quick cure I mean steps that you will be able to take in order for you to push your asthma back to a point of almost nonexistence; meaning it is there but it will become hardly noticeable.
Asthma sufferers usually live life on a day to day basis because asthma has so many triggers that you wont be able to tell when, where, or why you had an attack. In order to gain more control of these factors here are some of the things that might be able to help you out.
Recognize: For some people this is not an easy thing to do. Since each condition is uniquely different from one person to the other, people tend to ignore their symptoms and try to associate it with other conditions such as fatigue, stress, flu or common allergy. Until it reaches a certain point where it can no longer be ignored or associated with any other disorder. By recognizing that you have asthma you will be able to receive the necessary treatment needed while it is still in its early stages and would be easily manageable.
Trigger: What are your triggers? Triggers are simply the allergens or irritants that cause your flare-ups. It can be the food you eat, the places you go to, the habits you have, or the environment that you are in. Being able to determine your triggers will give you options as to what you might be able to do about it. You can either avoid your triggers or take extra medication if avoidance would be impossible. For some this might not be easy to do, take for example that smoke is your trigger and you have been smoking for quite a while, it would be hard for you to quit habits that have developed over a long period of time. In any case, your determination and perseverance will be the key to your success in this aspect.

Ask your doctor on what type of foods and exercises would benefit you. They will be able to give you a diet plan that you can easily follow and an exercise program fitted for your lifestyle.
The last would be being positive. Well, this is really not a cure but it can benefit you greatly when it comes to controlling asthma. Being positive about asthma will make you accept the fact that you have it, theres no cure for it but you can manage it. Blowing asthma out of proportion will make you feel terrible and helpless. Being positive about your condition will allow you to become practical and rational about the would be solutions that you might encounter.

But never try self medicate, consult your physician first before trying out anything. Indeed, asthma as of today is incurable, but that does not mean that total control cannot be achieved.
