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.

I love zucchini and have a great way of preparing it and it tastes so good, I am sure the children will love them like this.
Slice the zucchini lengthways (organic if you can), dip in egg then coat with braedcrumbs, drizzle a little organic olive oil over them in an oven tray and cook in moderate oven for about 1/2 hour until soft and golden.
