Pregnant women who eat a Mediterranean diet may be protecting their baby from eczema and allergies in childhood, new research suggests another benefit of this diet.
Consumption of vegetables more than eight times a week, fish more than three times a week, and beans or peas more than once a week seemed to be especially protective in preventing eczema and allergies.
A study by Greek doctors found that children of mothers who closely follow the oil and fish-rich diet while pregnant have a 45% lower risk of developing an allergic disease before the age of seven.
Based on this analysis, eating a high-quality Mediterranean diet during pregnancy was associated with an 88% reduction in persistent wheeze risk among offspring and a 45% reduction in allergic disease risk.
Their children also had a 45 per cent lower risk of allergic disease than women on a low quality diet.
