Yes, British researchers are here to claim that apply juice can reduce the risks of asthma. Modern society is grappling with diseases like asthma which has very much arisen from the way people have chosen to live. For instance, as of today, it is pollution, diet change and stress which can result in asthma perils. So if you don’t want to keep gasping for air, just gulp down a few glasses of apple juice to prevent the same.
British scientists have been prompt in declaring that kids who drank plenty of apple juice were less likely to develop asthma problems. This study relating to apples and lung health has been published in the European Respiratory Journal.
Health Benefits of Apple Juice
Some health benefits of apple juice are listed here below:
- Prevents early aging
- Prevents the risk of developing heart diseases
- Prevents cancer risks
- Promotes healthy bones (apple juice contains an active mineral nutrient called boron which helps in strengthening bones)
- Reduces asthma risks
Peter Burney, who led the research team at the Aberdeen University, studied kids between the ages 5-10 years in London. The team sought to ask parents about their kid’s fruit intake and the effects of the same on their bodies.
The link between apple intake and wheezing was strongly established though there were still some ambiguities remaining with relation to apple juice and asthma diagnosis. Experts were of the opinion that wheezing was a significant symptom of developing asthma, though all conditions did not lead to the illness.
Drinking fresh apple juice was not really important. Researchers said that apple juices prepared from other concentrates were also effective in reducing the symptoms of asthma.
The World Health Organization (WHO) terms “asthma” as a chronic disorder in children. About 300 million people worldwide are said to suffer from the illness. Asthma is a condition marked by the muscle tightening in the airways which causes the lining of the air passages to swell. This reduces the supply of air into the body.
The most common symptoms of asthma are – wheezing, shortness of breath and cough. Experts opine that asthma can get dangerous if the airways are severely restricted.
