An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well, the saying is apt for all...including pregnant mommies. Ladies, who are heavy with child, should consume apples and the easy way can ensure their to-be-born baby would be protected from developing asthma later in life. Cool, isn’t it?
The study done by researchers from Netherlands and Scotland tracked dietary intake by nearly 2,000 pregnant women and examined the effects of the maternal diet on airway development in more than 1,200 of their children five years later.
According to science portal EurekAlert, the researchers found that the children of mothers who had apples had considerably cut down on risk of developing asthma and childhood wheezing.
Asthma, being a never-ending ailment of the airways, gives rise to attacks of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and coughing. And there is no permanent treatment for the disease; however symptoms sometimes decrease over time. An appropriate self-management and medical treatment can endow the lot with a normal life.
