5:2 and asthma - did yours improve?

[JoJoMojito]

My husband has just started 5:2 in a bid to lose his spare tyre (now that he's seen me lose mine ) but after reading about the various other health benefits he was also wondering whether his asthma might improve after a while - has anyone had any experience of this? He is on 2 inhalers and montelukast, and also a nasal steroid spray. When I met him 10 years ago he was on no medication at all, so it's gradually got worse & he gets a bit fed up with it at times.
So, any stories of asthma getting better (or, hopefully not, worse) when following IF?
TIA.

Not much research on 5:2, but on ADF and asthma there are many research papers e.g. BlogSummary and a Book by Dr. Johnson.
I have that and IIRC it refers to lots of his work with asthma patients.

If he is really keen on improving asthma, I suggest ADF first, then maybe see if he can maintain the health benefits with 5:2

Mine

Mine got worse, but I think it was because,on FDs with fewer calories I realised how hard I was working to breathe and breathing was much more tiring.

Mine got better plus hayfever better then it's ever been. A friend who also does the 5:2 swears it's the 5:2 that really helped her hayfever.
