Yet there is a secret behind Beckham’s ability to manage his asthma in such a simple way, which allowed him to hide his problem for almost ten years before finally finding out about his condition after his revelation.

Indeed, thanks to the healthy and balanced diet he was following, Beckham was able to manage his asthma. According to a study conducted at the University of Paris, there is a direct link between healthy eating and good asthma prevention and control.

Diet adapted to asthmatics

Dr. Roland Andrianasolo, the researcher behind the study, found that the perfect diet for asthma patients is one that contains mainly fruits and vegetables, but also foods rich in fiber.

The study did not specify the exact fruits and vegetables or the nutrients that people with asthma need to consume to manage their condition more effectively.  Rather, it simply encourages people to have a lifestyle that promotes healthier choices when it comes to what they consume every day.

The study also found that excessive salt or meat consumption is harmful to asthma patients’ health. However, Beckham needed to eat protein to satisfy his body’s needs, something that is particularly important in his professional life, so he ate only low-fat meats.

Moreover, Beckham reports eating a lot of greens, as well as beans which are also a major source of protein. In general, to satisfy his need for fat, he would switch to yogurt or olive oil. No doubt, his diet fits well with the report published by the University of Paris, which probably explains the fact that he was able to show remarkable performances on the field as a footballer, even though he was asthmatic.
