Birth eczema and yellow veg
Filed under: Baby health — Alan @ 6:36 pm
A new study from Japanese researchers at Fukuoka University found that babies that are born to mothers who consumer a large amount of yellow and green vegetables and fruit have a lesser risk of birth eczema, which is a skin condition in which itchy red dry patches appear across the skin.
Even without the study, most people know that eating habits affect the way that people feel. Still, leader of the study, Dr. Yoshihiro Miyake and his research team studied 763 women and their babies to see if the mother’s lifestyle habits and eating habits affected their children.
The women in the study were around the age of 30 and each around 17 weeks pregnant. Researchers then gathered more data once the children were born and reached the ages of 16 to 24 months old.
The team found that 32% of children born from mothers who consumed citrus fruits and yellow and green vegetables versus 54% of children that were born from mothers that did not. They additionally found that a Vitamin E rich diet can reduce the chance of having an infant that wheezes.
This study along with other previous studies cements the fact that key foods should be consumed during pregnancy in order to prevent children from developing allergies throughout their infancy.
Also known, is the fact that healthy women that choose to breastfeed are able to offer their children the best nutrition compared to women who choose not to breastfeed.
