OET Listening Bölüm B: Exercise Advice for Asthma

Okay, so when you're dealing with asthma patients,

it's quite likely that they'll ask you about exercise

and you're going to have to make a quick assessment of what it's appropriate to say.

Basically, by giving their lungs a regular workout,

they'll cut the risk of asthma symptoms.

But if they've never had a regular exercise routine before,

the first thing they need to do is go to the GP for a checkup

and make sure their asthma action plan's up to date.

Most patients can fit some regular exercise into their week

and you should stress that little changes will make a huge difference.

So simply just walking the kids to school or taking a walk in the lunch break instead of sitting down

could make an enormous difference.

Also, if they can find somebody they know who's willing to go with them along that journey,

that'll help massively as well.

But remind them that whatever they do,

they'll always need to have their blue reliever inhaler with them.
