The new latest research shows that if children live where there are no healthy options, their risk of asthma increases by 53%.
Experts said that what is worrying about this finding is that one in ten children has “food poverty” in their lives, while poor areas lack fresh food within 1 kilometer. it is. It is said that nutritious food can strengthen immunity and fight asthma. Asthma is a common lung disease that can cause respiratory distress in adults and children. There is no cure, but treatment can help control symptoms. According to data, 5.4 million people in the UK suffer from this disease, and 8% of Americans are affected. Allergy, asthma and immunology researchers at American University evaluated the likelihood of asthma in 2043 children aged 6-18.
The study found that 57% of teenagers live at least 800 meters away from fruit and vegetable shops. Approximately 21% of children with asthma live in areas where food is scarce, and children living near fresh fruit and vegetable stores have a 17% chance of getting the disease. Previous studies have shown that eating more fruits and vegetables in mice can reduce the risk of asthma. Under conditions of exposure to pepper tick, the lungs of mice eating high-fiber rarely became inflamed. The researchers pointed out that the study examined factors that influence the control of allergic dermatitis (hay fever), obesity and asthma. Good nutrition is important to everyone, especially those who suffer from asthma. Due to lack of nutrition, the human body is susceptible to diseases and respiratory viral infections, which can cause asthma.
