Is there any way to put asthma in remission?

After I graduate college I want to apply to be a pilot in the Air Force, but I have minor asthma that causes occasional attacks that I need an inhaler for. Is there any known way to put asthma in remission? I'm pretty out of shape right now but when I was in better shape I didn't have asthma attacks. Could it really be as simple as getting in shape?

I know one but you're probably too old for that, doing physical exercises, going for walks by the sea, inhaling some sea salts or something like that is supposed to raise your chance of "growing out" of asthma. It worked for me but my mom started all this stuff with me when I was around 6 y/o. You should just ask a doctor, not some random /sci/entists.

And yes, if you exercise it gets better, swimming and running is especially good for asthma

That and if you have allergies that trigger it or just allergies eat honey that is sourced from where you live . It might help

Yes, I used to not be able to do light exercise and needed an inhaler. Now I can exercise rigorously with out any problems. Getting in shape will help but it's 90% proper breathing habits, no mouth breathing, 5.5 seconds between breaths even during high intensity, full breaths (https://youtu.be/M2tdTGZuJNk) and doing deep sea free diver training exercises. In short you need to get your body used to a low oxygen high co2 state.

I had childhood asthma, but I grew out of it. I do live by the beach,so you may be onto something.

Why would you want to be a military pilot? Do you enjoy filling out paperwork 95% of the time and flying 5% of the time?

Not that i am aware of, I've had severe asthma for my entire life. As other anon have said though, a clean diet and exercise will help. Also keep a clean home, lots of circulating air, if you have pets wash them often, avoid excessive dairy or other inflammatory foodstuffs, keep houseplants, don't live in the city. eat local honey and whatever you do, DO NOT try to go cold turkey without an inhaler, when i was younger I tried that and ended up giving myself emphysema in my upper lungs, reducing my breathing capacity by about 10% through calcification.

Sorry anon you're probably not gonna make the air force unless you lie.

>As other anon have said though, a clean diet and exercise will help
I also had medium asthma and these simple things changed my life. It's pretty light now and I don't even need an inhaler anymore most of the time.
>eat local honey
I know it's anecdotal but this also helped a lot in reducing severity.
>DO NOT try to go cold turkey
I'm not sure what you mean here. Like, not exposing yourself to any allergen?

There must be some way to stop the inflammation. Where is it even coming from?

I used an inhaler as a kid and grew out of it, but mainly because I know to pace myself. If I start doing any especially strenuous activity it still comes back and I have to take a break after a few minutes.
I did swim a lot as a kid, maybe that helped but idk. I just liked swimming it wasn't intentional.

I had mild asthma as a child which got bad in my 20s and 30s after some dusty house cleanings and a really bad bronchitis which i now think was probably pneumonia. I had good results with Accolate. I haven't used an inhaler in years, though my last spell (allergy related, I think) was after the Accolate. My wife has MS so I am always thinking in terms of inflammatory triggers and anti-inflammatory foods, so this may have something to do with my current good health. Or maybe it's magical thinking.

Not a healthcare professional, just an anecdotal cent for you. Best of luck OP.

Usually it is from allergens in the air.
Like living in houses with a lot of humidity and beds full of dust mites.
