Islamabad, May 5 (TNS): Children who love junk food and eat at least three burgers in a week are inviting asthma, says the latest research.
The study which was conducted on 50,000 children across 20 countries revealed that the risk of asthma, because of improper diet, is highest of all in better-off countries.
The findings showed that youngsters who enjoy a healthy diet rich in fruit, fish and vegetables have the lowest risk to get affected by the disease.
When compared between rich and poor countries, it was found that a diet high in fish protected children against wheeze in well-off countries, while a diet rich in cooked vegetables guarded youngsters in poor countries. Elaine Vickers, of Asthma UK, has advised children to “eat a healthy, balanced diet and get plenty of exercises”
