Can a fruit a day keep asthma away?

A new study shows that a low dietary intake of certain nutrients increases the likelihood of respiratory symptoms such as asthma, especially in teens who smoke. A lack of these nutrients may also lead to lung function.The research, suggests that higher intakes of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory micronutrients are associated with lower reports of cough, respiratory infections and less severe asthma-related symptoms. Teenagers who have low dietary intakes of fruits, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids are at greater risk of having this sickness. The researchers examined the association of low dietary nutrient intake with low pulmonary function and respiratory problems.
During late adolescence, physical stature has been attained and lung growth closely parallels this growth. Therefore they were observing a time when lung function was close to its optimal capacity. They also said that although their diet surveyed targeted only the eating habits for the past year, it did give them some idea of the teens general past diet. However, their current respiratory health may be a reflection of diet during childhood, as well as during past years.
Vitamin supplements can help teens meet their daily recommended levels and surprisingly, even relatively low levels of omega-3 fatty acids appeared to protect teens from higher reported respiratory symptoms.
Results showed that low dietary intakes of fruits, vitamin C and E, and omega-3 acids were associated with decreased lung function and a greater risk of chronic bronchitis symptoms, wheeze and asthma. These risks were further increased among students with the lowest intakes and who also smoked.
Researchers are hoping that a fruit a day will keep asthma away, but it is a complex disease with genetic component. However, it may be that certain foods can lessen or prevent this symptom. The most important thing to remember is that diet can have a significant impact on teens’ respiratory health. We would encourage them to make healthy eating as part of their daily routine, and stress to them that smoking is bad. It emphasized that fresh fruits make for convenient snacks. They also suggest in preparing simple, daily family meal, as a method to promote both communication and good nutrition.
Balanced diet is good not only for lung health, but for general health. Parents and physicians should work together to monitor and maintain healthy diets and lifestyles for children of all ages.

Hidden lies

A deceiving new I heard
You are with another girl
So stupid of me to fall in love with your smile
I was so blind not to see your hidden lies

THE CLIMB

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,

Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but
IGot to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
The pain I'm knowing
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climbKeep on moving

Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all aboutIt's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
