Prenatal Intake Of Fish Can Lower Eczema Risks In Kids

Filed Under Eczema Child, Eczema Diet, Eczema Treatment

While the headlines of the news linked apples and asthma, the part about eczema in the article on Medical News Today did not fail to escape my attention – that prenatal intake of fish can also help reduce ecezme risks in children.

The news was focusing about the results of two recent studies. They demonstrated a positive correlation between women who ate apples during pregnancy and a significant decrease in asthma and wheezing of their children. The study followed the children until the age of 5. The article then briefly mentioned that the same correlation can also be seen in pregnant women who ate fish and reduced eczema incidences in their children.

What we already know is that Omega 3 contained in fish oils is highly beneficial for an eczema diet or just about for anyone with skin problems. It also helps to build immune function and is helpful for children with autism or learning disabilities.

Increasingly more and more children are getting eczema. It is said that 1 in every 5 children in the U.K. are afflicted with this skin disorder. Hence, I would think that it would be beneficial for pregnant women to consider eating more fish to lower the risks of their babies having eczema.

Eczema is not a “curable” condition; at least not by conventional methods. Hence, it would be difficult to say “cure” your baby once he or she is born and found to have eczema.

During pregnancy, some women are also known to develop eczema. Hormonal changes are said to cause this; as well as previous histories of eczema play a part. For these cases, eating more fish or supplementing with fish oils can also be of help in reducing the discomfort due to dry skin.

Diet can most certainly play a big role in reducing eczema symptoms. Hence, I would recommend sufferers to check out more information on how to eat right with a healthy eczema diet
