The Greek diet is ideal for kids
Mums have always known that vegetables, fruits and fish are useful for children. But Greek scientists have decided to find some additional factors to prove once again the uniqueness of their native Mediterranean diet. So, last researches say that children, who like to regale on fish, fruits and vegetables, are protected from asthma and allergy.
These results are based on the research and observation of physicians over 460 Spanish children.
Scientists observed kids’ state of health and came to a conclusion, that those who ate more than 40 g of fruit and vegetables (tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, green beans and vegetable marrows) and 60 g of fish every day did not suffer from allergic diseases.
Besides, doctors have noted that the question is about certain dietary effects. Other food (meat, poultry, and dairy products) did not provide the same protective effect. Biological mechanisms, which are responsible for action of these products, are not completely clear for a while.
Authors of the research believe that fruit, vegetables and fish reduce an inflammation connected to asthma and allergy.
