I just learned about a new documentary film that exposes the truth behind the junk and processed food industry and the effect on our children. It’s called ‘All Jacked Up’ and features interviews with both top health and nutrition experts as well as real teenagers as they share their traumatic experiences with living on junk food.

Not surprisingly, a study from the National Heart and Lung Institute of London reported that a diet high in fruit and vegetable consumption, as found in the Mediterranean diet, helps keep allergies away in children.
The researchers interviewed 700 children aged 7-18 and found that those eating a diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables had 60% less allergies than those that ate fewer amounts. Out of the study, 80% of the children at fresh fruit daily and 2/3 of those ate fresh vegetables as well.
Eating nuts also decreased additional allergic symptoms the study reported. The children in the study that ate nuts at least 3 times a week reported fewer specific allergic symptoms.
This indicates, as most all research does, that an increased consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables is important to maintain good health. I also suspect that allergies decreased since the Mediterranean diet is lower in consumption of dairy products. Dairy products are highly congesting and proven to cause allergies. The SAD (standard American diet) normally is high in dairy product consumption. Your mom was right, eat those fruits and vegetables!

To most people, eating an occasional fast food meal or drinking a soda once in a while is acceptable. Even eating out regularly would be considered healthy to most.
