Experts in Brazil have created a special kind of bread that can be a major breakthrough for millions of asthma patients.
Asthma is a common lung disease in which it is hard for people to breathe properly. Reports claim that there are around 20 million patients with asthma in Brazil.
According to scientists, gut health may be connected with asthma, and probiotics can help fight against bacteria.
Probiotics are actually good bacteria (good for the body), which are usually found in yogurt and other dairy products.
Brazilian experts first used a special kind of probiotic yeast to prepare bread dough and fed it to mice with asthma.
Surprisingly, results showed a reduced sign of asthma. These breads with microcapsules showed better results. These microcapsules protect probiotics from heat.
Bread is still in its early stages, and more studies are needed. Experts are planning to test the experiment on humans.
Bread is a very common and favored food. If bread studies reach the final stage, then it could be a convenient way to prevent asthma.
