Petar says you can even exchange your bishop if your position requires.John Watson brings up a century of reviews for TWIC ( there is an archive of all these here) with a final set on "History and General Works".

White should play b2-b3 in such cases (diagram). In some cases, Black might want to exploit White’s weaker c4-pawn by exchanging it with its d4-pawn. Learn how Smyslov did the same in a 1946 game. Some are meant to control key squares restricting the movement of the enemy king. Not every isolated central pawn is meant to get promoted.
