Dear Health-Savvy friend,

The fruit that could keep asthma away!
by Andrew Miller,Nutrition & Healing, UK

You know the old saying, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." Well, when it comes to keeping asthma away, the same basic principle applies. Only instead of an apple, the prevention comes from another favourite fruit.

I talk a lot about the power of food — it boils down to another old saying: "You are what you eat." What we put into our bodies affects the condition of our bodies.

Consuming bananas early in life has also been linked to a lower risk of childhood leukaemia.

Another trial also found that bromelain, the enzyme in pineapple, could reduce the inflammation that comes with asthma.
