Can your pregnancy diet affect your child's allergy risk?
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements
If you've been pregnant or are now, there's a good chance that you are carefully watching what you eat and drink to ensure your fetus has the best chance at a normal development before being born. It makes sense, then, that dietary choices during pregnancy can affect whether or not the child will later develop allergies.A new study hints at this, as it studied associations between maternal diet during the last four weeks of pregnancy and allergies and eczema in offspring at the age of two years. Over 2,600 children were studied in the research.
Partial results included the maternal intakes of margarine and vegetable oils during the last four weeks of pregnancy and eczema during the first two years in the offspring.
