According to a recent study published in the latest edition of the journal Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, a diet rich in fish and fruity vegetables (tomatoes and eggplants) helps to reduce attacks of wheezing and asthma in children.
The study was conducted for a seven year period, and followed the progress of 232 boys and 228 girls from the prenatal stage to age six and a half.
Dr Leda Chatzi, author of the study from the Department of Social Medicine at the University of Crete, said,
after adjusting the results for a wide range of variables, we concluded that the link between symptom-free children and a diet rich in fruity vegetables and fish was statistically significant.
Do you know fish is the world’s primary source of high-quality protein? One of the reasons for its popularity is due to that fact that it can eaten in a variety of different ways, sometimes even by not cooking (sashimi) or by just marinating it (escabeche).
Do you know fish; especially the salt water ones are very rich in the heart-friendly ingredient Omega 3 fatty acids?
Not only is fish good for the heart, but even its oil is considered to be very good for the brain development of children.
So if you want to see your children asthma free, introduce more fish and fruity vegetables in your children’s diets and watch them grow into beautiful and healthy adults.
