More Fruits In Childhood Is Less Asthma in Adults

Filed in archive Studies , Treatment by Gloria Gamat on May 25, 2006

Adding to the growing body of scientific evidence that supports the health benefits of fruits, Cambridge researchers found in a recent study that people with an antioxidant-rich diet could reduce their risk of developing asthma in adulthood.

"We have found symptomatic asthma in adults to be associated with a low intake of the dietary antioxidants vitamin C and manganese. The low intake of vitamin C appears to primarily associated with a diet deficient in fruit," wrote corresponding author Dr. Nick Wareham.

Asthma is a condition on the rise in the Western world and currently the most common long-tern condition in the UK. This study seems to support a growing scientific evidence that has linked antioxidant intake (specifically, vitamins C and E) to the incidence of asthma.
