Why do some people get asthma?

Asthma gene

Asthmatics are genetically predisposed to asthma by having:

Stronger, thicker smooth muscle lining the airways
Five times as many mast cells as non-asthmatics
More mucus-producing cells lining the airways

You can't change your genetics, but you can correct your breathing and this is the key to controlling your asthma.
