As you may know, the prevalence of asthma, especially among children, has dramatically risen over the last few decades. One of the thoughts for this pattern has been diet, specifically fast foods and the westernization of many diets around the world.

One particular diet that has been looked at as a potential treatment or dietary modifier of asthma is the Mediterranean diet. A high intake of fruits, vegetables, nuts, fish, and cereals with a low intake of meats, dairy products, and junk food is thought to be associated with lower rates of asthma and less asthma symptoms. Studies have noted that groups consuming  large amounts of high intake foods and avoiding low intake foods accomplishes just that.

What do you think? Have you ever tried a particular diet to improve your asthma? Did it work? Leave a comment and let us know.
