Fruity Vegetables Help Keep Allergies Away in Children

A study published in Pediatric Allergy and Immunology reported that children eating a diet high in fruity vegetables saw a reduced number of allergies and wheezing.

Fruity vegetables that they tested and had a positive influence included tomatoes, eggplants, cucumber, green beans and zucchini.

Additionally, they found children that ate fish or fish oil also saw a reduction in allergic reactions.

This is another in a line of studies that is showing the effects of diet on every day conditions like allergies, weight gain, disease and longevity, especially in children. Keeping children’s diets clear of processed and modified foods, and high in fresh fruits and vegetables will gain them fewer sick days and more fun growing up in a healthy environment.

Autism Cases in Children on the Rise?

It appears that autism, found in only 1 out of 1000 children just a few years ago, is now found in 1 out of 150 children. The video indicates that this may be due to what doctors call autism, indicating that a broader range of symptoms are now included in the autism diagnosis.

This may be the case, although it appears that symptoms are increasing with the sharp increase in processed foods, exposure to toxins and chemicals and the high amount of sugar and junk in our children’s diets. Studies have related diet and the diagnosis of ADHD and lets be practical, autism just doesn’t appear out of nowhere. Links between vaccinations and diet are starting to be uncovered as they seem to correlate with autism in many ways.

Study Reports Vegetarian Diet Best For Heart Health

Not surprisingly, a new study released by the University of Massachusetts rated a primarily vegetarian diet, like the one authored by Dr. Dean Ornish, as the best diet for heart health. The study compared popular diets and concluded that a low fat, meat-less diet that is high in fiber was the best in helping you to avoid heart disease. From experience and research, this diet is also great for losing weight, avoiding most disease and feeling better overall.

To your best health!
