Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world - the number of cases will rise. Proper diet may counteract this tendency. Worldwide, some 300 000 million people suffer from asthma. From the increase of cases in the last decades, experts estimate an increase to up to 100 million people in 2025.
This trend does not last for the health systems is a huge burden dar. studies point out, however, that chronic disease can be stopped by simple means - for example, a healthy diet. For the development of asthma is linked to many factors. An important role does the lifestyle. Has changed significantly in recent years - not considered healthy for the best.
The trend starts early: Even children are suffering increasingly from obesity due to lack of exercise and poor diet. The two studies also show that appeared in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. They examine the issue of whether and in which the relationship between diet and asthma is.
Risk factors of salt and television researchers at the University of Aberdeen in the UK focused on three nutritional factors that are suspected to force asthma: a changing intake of antioxidants, a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids and a changing vitamin D status. Already pregnant women could therefore failed in a balanced diet, the foundation for good lung health of their children.
Whether possible defects with dietary supplements such as vitamin E and D and zinc, can be compensated, the researchers can not say yet. They therefore recommend that until further notice on this. "The general situation to study asthma is fairly bad," said the scientist Graham Devereux.
"How accurate are related asthma and food when the interaction is strongest, and whether a proper diet has therapeutic potential, research is far from sufficient." In another study evaluated a research team from Greece, the relationship between salty snacks, TV or video game use and asthma symptoms among adolescents.
Although the scientists write that both factors are already on the asthma-risk list. The study results in that regard are, however, ambiguous. In a study of 700 children aged between ten and twelve years living in and around Athens, they found a 4.8-times higher risk of asthma when the children more than three times per week ate salty snacks.
This relationship was even stronger, if they are also more than two hours per day watching TV or playing video games. Mediterranean diet schütztDie authors also found that had children, the classic Mediterranean diet, less often diagnosed with asthma. This confirms previous studies that examined this relationship had also been established.
Lots of vegetables and fruits, cereals and olive oil, a high proportion of beta-carotene, vitamins C and E and other major food ingredients such as selenium, flavonoids and polyphenols seem clearly to have protective effects. "As the asthma rate is so high in developed countries, in recent years continued to increase and grow in the coming years will, future policy should focus on these factors.
One could even work against the development at an early age, may by parents, teachers or other persons acting on children, are informed, "write the study leader Demosthenes Panagiotakos and Kostas Priftis.
