It has been proven that a diet of fresh fruit, nuts and olive oil can ward off asthma in children by a newly released study published in Thorax, a respiratory medicine journal.
Through a research team from London’s Royal Brompton Hospital, the University of Crete and the Centre for Research in Environment, a wide-ranging study of children and teenagers, aged between seven and 18 years of age, living on the island of Crete has been conducted.
Out of the 700 children monitored, it was found that the children who ate most of the traditional Mediterranean favourites of fresh foods seemed to have a resistance to asthma and some allergic conditions.
