Fish, whole grains can help prevent asthma
Respiratory Care Weekly, December 20, 2006
Children who don't consume much fish and whole grains are more susceptible to developing asthma, according to the December Thorax. Findings were based on nutritional surveys of 600 parents between 8 and 13 years old.
Researchers did not observe a link between asthma and wheezing and the children's intake of vegetables, citrus fruits, or dairy. However, children who ate whole grains were 54% less likely to develop asthma and 45% less likely to develop wheezing than children who did not eat whole grains. Similarly, children who ate fish were 66% less likely to develop asthma and 56% less likely to wheeze than those who did not consume fish.
