Whole grains and fish may protect children against asthma

A report published in the medical journal, Thorax indicates that children who take great quantity of whole grain products and fish seem to have a reduced risk of developing asthma. This finding was based on the researchers’ examination of 598 Dutch children between the ages of 8 and 13 years who enrolled in the International Study on Allergy and Asthma in Childhood 2 (ISAAC-2).

The relationship between taking foods (such as fruits, vegetables, dairy and whole grain products, and fish) and asthma was analyzed.
