Kids Breathe Easier with a Mediterranean Diet
A traditional Mediterranean diet during childhood appears to protect against asthma and allergies. In a study of nearly 700 children on the Greek island of Crete, parents completed questionaires about their children's diet and their symptons of asthama and respiratory allergies. Researchers found that consuming grapes, oranges, apples, and fresh tomatoes regularly helped protect youngsters against wheezing adn nasal allergies, while eating nuts at least three times a week also reduced wheezing. A high consumption of margarine, on the other hand, doubled the chances of asthma and nasal allergies. (Thorax, April 2007)
