How to Avoid Asthma Triggers?

Cold & dry air, common in winter, can cause: shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing & coughing. Here are 3 triggers linked to cold weather & tips to help protect your health:
1. Flu or common cold Either one, including sinusitis or other infections, can spark a flare-up. Flu especially is bad for asthmatics, because it can lead to pneumonia or other complications(even if your asthma is mild or well-controlled with medication). Be sure to wash your hands often & distance yourself from those who are sick. Also, cough into a tissue or the inner crook of your elbow to avoid contaminating your hands.
2. Dust The most common type of asthma is allergy related. At least 30% of adults are triggered by allergies. Colder weather keeps people indoors more where you are more exposed to dust, dust mites, pet dander, cockroaches, mold, & pollen. Many people report their allergies are worse in winter. Clean your house at least once a week, encase pillows & mattresses in dust-proof covers, toss throw rugs & wash curtains & blinds.
3. Smoke Whether it is being around cigarette smokers or being around fireplaces/wood-burning stoves, these can aggravate asthma sufferers. Try not to burn wood at home or reduce smoke by making sure the wood is dry, preferably stored(covered) for at least 6 months.
I had asthma & allergies problems since I was a child. I was tested for allergies, and found I was allergic to dust, dust mites, mold, feathers(pillows we had were feather), grass, trees, weeds & cats, so my allergies were indoors & out. I tried allergy shots, but they were not very helpful. When I did allergy shots as an adult, I would always get a sinus infection soon after, so I stopped doing those. Even so, I would get sinus infections 3 to 4 times a year. Being around cats would set off an asthma attack, too. Whenever I got a cold, I had to be careful because it would frequently start bronchitis & once I got pneumonia. Then I discovered Omnitrition®, and now I no longer have asthma or allergies. I no longer need medication for these. No allergy shots either. I, also, don't get the cold or flu. Here is what I take to help me:
