Typically, As people get older, their airways and immune systems become less sensitive, so they don't react as strongly to things that used to trigger their asthma. As individuals grow older, their asthma often improves due to this desensitization process. Certain exercises can be beneficial, especially those that enhance lung capacity. Swimming, for instance, synchronizes breathing patterns, aiding in building lung capacity effectively. However, there can be drawbacks, such as potential aggravation of symptoms due to cold water or chlorine exposure. For individuals experiencing symptoms like rhinitis or coughing upon entering the water, swimming might not be the most suitable exercise for them.
