Promoting beneficial gut bacteria through the use of prebiotics could help ease asthma caused by physical activity, shows a new study published in the British Journal of Nutrition.
Asthma is one of the most common respiratory conditions in the United States, affecting around 17.7 million adults and 6.3 million children.
The condition is characterized by inflammation and narrowing of the airways, which can cause shortness of breath, chest tightness, coughing, and wheezing.
