Dietary Fibers: Effects, Underlying Mechanisms and Possible Role in Allergic Asthma Management
The prevalence of asthma is increasing, but the cause remains under debate. Research currently focuses on environmental and dietary factors that may impact the gut-lung axis. Dietary fibers are considered to play a crucial role in supporting diversity and activity of the microbiome, as well as immun...
