The USA Institute of Chest Physicians point towards a drastic increase in domestic pet ownership, incorporate this with tight living spaces and a poor ventilation of apartments.

The Toronto Star indicates that “animal fur, feathers or even skin can directly spark an asthma attack. Dust-mites, carcinogens from cigarette, flower scents and mold can cause asthma attacks. Cat dander is said to be the common allergen. Canada alone host on average 1 million+ of asthmatic sufferers with around 400 deaths yearly. Asthma is still the leading number one allergic killer. However, most people who have asthma can always be assured of living a normal life.

An active lifestyle can never be substituted because it gives increase resistance and promotes a healthier you.
