Eating apples and fish during pregnancy helps in protecting the child from developing asthma and allergic disease.
Researchers from the Utrecht University, The Netherlands and University of Aberdeen, Scotland followed the diets of nearly 2,000 pregnant women and checked the lung health of 1,253 of their children at 5 years of age. They found that 162 children (13 percent) had a bout of wheezing in the past year and 145 (12 percent) had doctor-confirmed asthma.
