Allergies & AsthmA issue
Allergies and asthma are on the rise, and it's nothing to
sneeze at. As of 1970, around one in ten Americans suffered
from hay fever, and in 2000 that number skyrocketed to three
in ten. Americans who were affected by asthma, oftentimes
accompanied by hay fever, rose from 3.1 percent to 8.4
percent of the population between 1980 and 2010. Truly
scary is the fact that asthma accounts for one-quarter of all
emergency room visits in the U.S. each year—about 2 million
annually. In this issue of You at Your Best, we explore the
causes of these chronic illnesses and strategies to reduce and
alleviate suffering from allergies and asthma.
