Worldwide, asthma places a heavy strain on people with the disease as well as healthcare systems. This load can take many different forms, such as decreased living quality, higher healthcare utilization, and significant financial consequences. It is essential to comprehend the complex nature of this burden in order to create solutions that are both successful and preventative for asthma. This article examines the various repercussions of asthma, including how it affects daily activities, productivity, and the availability of healthcare services. In order to lessen the difficulties that people with asthma and healthcare systems encounter, we hope to raise awareness of the complexity of the condition's burden and make it easier to adopt focused interventions. Moreover, asthma has a greater social cost that affects healthcare systems and productivity in society as a whole. It need an all-encompassing strategy that incorporates patient education, medical management, and public health activities to address this load.

Vegetarian and vegan diets are becoming more and more popular as the benefits they offer to human health and the environment become more widely recognized. However, even while eating a vegetarian diet has been linked to a lower risk of mortality and chronic diseases, adherents to these diets may not receive enough nutrients, which may limit the positive effects on their health. The nutrients iron, calcium, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iodine, and selenium are the primary ones to be concerned about. Vitamin B12 supplementation is necessary for anyone adhering to a vegetarian or vegan diet. Adults should take one oral dose of 50–100 μg cyanocobalamin daily or two oral doses of 2000 μg weekly to prevent vitamin B12 insufficiency. Supplementing with iodine is advised for vegetarians and vegans who cannot obtain sea vegetables or meals fortified with iodine, as well as for expectant and nursing mothers. For adults, 150 μg of iodine supplements should be taken daily. It is crucial to comprehend the full range of consequences associated with a vegetarian diet, not just the nutritional ones. Studies in this field may help mitigate all variables that could discourage people from adopting a vegetarian diet or negatively affect the quality of life of those who already do so, in addition to providing more consistent data.
