Special Diet Key to Managing Asthma

The ketogenic diet triggers ketosis, which is a metabolic process that breaks down fats and proteins and transforms them into energy for the body. In a recent experiment, researchers observed that when asthmatic mice consumed a ketogenic diet, they experienced a reduction in asthma symptoms. Researcher Dr. Christoph Wilhelm writes, “The prevalence of asthma has increased dramatically over the last few decades. Perhaps this is also related to an increasingly common high-sugar and high-fat diet.” The research team now plans to investigate whether a ketogenic diet can benefit humans with asthma.
