Allergic of not, asthmatic or not, children will benefit from a diet rich in veggies and fish. But a recent study indicates that aside from its nutritional value, consuming lots of "fruity vegetables" and fish can reduce the incidence of allergies and asthma in children.

Vegetables and Fish May Reduce Allergies and Asthma

Researchers followed the progress of the children, on the Spanish island of Menorca, at regular intervals from before they were born until they were six-and-a-half.

They discovered that children who consumed more than 40 grams of "fruity vegetables" a day - namely tomatoes, eggplants (aubergines), cucumber, green beans and zucchini (courgettes) - were much less likely to suffer from childhood asthma.

And children who consumed more than 60 grams of fish a day also suffered less childhood allergies, echoing the protective effects they experienced when their mothers ate fish during pregnancy.

Forty grams of one or a combination of these veggies a day should be manageable. But 60 grams of fish every single day?!?
