Terrible air pollution can influence child who has asthma. For child having asthma, it is suggested to consume any fruits and green vegetables which contains high vitamin C and E.
This opinion is expressed by Dr Isabelle Romieu from Public Health National Institute in Mexico. Her research reveals that asthma attack is caused by ozon polution. The attack can be reduced if the children consume rich-antioxidan food, such as vitamin C and E, to protect their lungs.
Dr Romieu affirms that food likely becomes important side factor in children breath health.
The Research performed by Romieu is to determine wether antioxidant supplement can protect children who suffer asthma against pollution in Mexico City metropolitan region. Because the previous research shows that children in the area endure downgrade in their lung function and there is escalation of exhalation problem.
The research was held involving 158 children. They were randomly divided into two groups. One group got daily vitamin supplement, and another ate plasebo. They were examined from October 1998 till April 2000.
In general, children involved in the research had got vitamin C in their food, but they did not get enough vitamin E yet.
Researchers finds that vitamin supplement protects the children from the degradation of their exhalation stream and their amount of air disposed by lung at a specific time. The children who got plasebo endure the degradation.
Though this research entangles a group of little, middle and hard asthmatic children, vitamin supplement influence is mostly seen at children who have middle and hard asthma attack.
The researchers also concludes that asthmatic child is more vulnarable against ozon condition, because ozone influence will degrade antioxidant protection in lung.
This Invention is reported in American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
The conclusion is that the more often children are hit by air pollution, the more vitamin especially vitamin C and D they need to protect their lung. Children also need much more acid fruits and green vegetables.
