Maintain a healthy weight and diet. Avoid any foods that you're allergic to. Exercise moderately.

Supplements are not required if you have a balanced diet.

There are breathing exercises that can help you strengthen your lungs and improve your breathing technique. A qualified physio will help you or you could first try YouTube as there are plenty of physio vids there.

There are hand held power breathers that act as a resistance trainer if you want to strengthen your lungs - available on Amazon for about £12.

There's also the Buteyko technique that has proved very helpful for some asthmatics.

If you know what type of asthma you have then you can learn more about it and ask more specific questions about it here from fellow sufferers on how they deal with that particular type of asthma.
