Having a Baby? Eat Apples!
Do you want your child to be free of asthma? If so, you should eat lots of apples while you are pregnant, a new Scottish study suggests.
Researchers at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland found that 5-year-old children whose mothers had eaten the most apples during pregnancy were least likely to experience wheezing episodes or doctor-confirmed asthma.
Eating fish at least one time a week while you are pregnant also can help your young offspring avoid getting eczema.
