Healthy diet could prevent asthma. Healthy diet high in fruit, vegetable and whole grain cereal could prevent asthma. This diet contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which could lower symptoms of asthma.

In contrast consumption of meat, salt and sugar worsen symptoms of asthma.

The President of Nigerian Thoracic Society (NTS), Prof. Etete Peters, has said that about 15 million of the country's population are suffering from asthma, adding that over 400 million people are asthmatic worldwide.

Explaining Asthma

Asthma causes the small tubes inside the lungs to swell and makes it harder to breath.

It is incurable, Affecting people of all ages and often starts in childhood.

Symptoms

Patients with asthma show the following symptoms:

Wheezing
Coughing
Breathlessness
Tight chest
An asthma attack happens when symptoms suddenly get worse.

The Research 

A total of 34,776 French adults were studied using questionnaires – 28 per cent of the women and 25 per cent of the men had asthma.

To assess the effects of asthma people were asked to answer questions about their symptoms over a one-month period.

People's diet was measured using a daily food diary from which researchers randomly selected three days per person.

Diets high in fruit, vegetable and whole grain cereal are considered healthy, while meat, salt and sugar are less healthy.

The researchers took into account other factors known to be linked to asthma, such as smoking and exercise.

The Result

They found men who eat a healthy diet have a 30 per cent lower chance of experiencing the symptoms of asthma, while women's risk is slashed by 20 per cent.

And men who already have asthma are 60 per cent less likely to have badly controlled symptoms if they eat healthily, while eating well reduces asthmatic women's symptoms by 27 per cent.

Lead researcher Dr Roland Andrianasolo said: 'Our results strongly encourage the promotion of healthy diets for preventing asthma symptoms and managing the disease.

'A healthy diet is mostly made up of a high intake of fruit, vegetables and fibre.

'These have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and are elements in a healthy diet that potentially lower symptoms.

'In contrast, the least healthy diets include high consumption of meat, salt and sugar, and these are elements with pro-inflammatory capacities that may potentially worsen symptoms of asthma.
