Preventing asthma isn't straightforward with a specific mechanism. However, leading a healthier lifestyle—exercising, getting enough sleep, and having a balanced diet with less processed food—can lower the chances of developing asthma. Some research suggests that supplements like vitamin D might be beneficial, but there's no confirmed method to prevent asthma. Interestingly, choosing a vaginal delivery instead of a cesarean section might reduce the risk of asthma in children. Babies born through vaginal delivery get exposed to bacteria in the birth canal, which could positively influence their immune system and gut bacteria, potentially reducing the likelihood of developing asthma.
