Scientists in Scotland and Saudi Arabia recently said that children often eat western-style fast foods with unbalanced nutrition and are prone to asthma.
Scientists in the new issue of the British Medical Journal “The Chest†reported that they studied the dietary habits and asthma incidence of Saudi children and compared 100 asthmatic children with 200 ordinary children and found that vegetables, milk, Children with inadequate intake of vitamin E and minerals have a particularly high incidence of asthma. If you do not consider other factors such as family economic situation and parental smoking habits, children with less vegetables and vitamin E intake have a 2 to 3 times higher incidence than other children.
The survey shows that the incidence of urban children who regularly eat Western-style fast food is high, while the incidence of rural children who keep Saudi traditional dietary habits is low. Saudi traditional diet includes beef and mutton, rice, vegetables, fruits and so on.
In addition, the incidence of childhood asthma in Scotland has increased dramatically in the past 30 years, and studies have also found that the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables is reduced. Asthma is one of the most common childhood chronic diseases. There are approximately 150 million asthmatic patients worldwide.
