Researchers have discovered that children who eat a Mediterranean diet are much less likely to suffer from asthma. In fact, women who eat this diet while they are pregnant pass the benefits along to their unborn child.
The study was published in the British Medical Journal’s Thorax and detailed the benefits for children whose mother’s stuck to a Mediterranean diet during their pregnancy. They discovered that women who ate primarily fresh fruit, nuts, grains and vegetables passed on benefits to their children that reduced the risk of asthma symptoms.
