Like my Apple a Day post, it has been discovered that other foods can help children avoid certain diseases.

In fact, USA Today Weekend stated that eating fish at least one time a week while you are pregnant also can help your young offspring avoid getting eczema.

Fish Oil Blog discusses the benefits of taking fish oil during pregnancy, which helps prevent Allergies, Athsma, and Eczema.  In fact, the blog claims that the benefits extend as long as the child is nursing. 

“The advantages of studying foods are that they contain a mixture of micronutrients that may contribute more than the sum of their parts,” according to Medscape Today.  In a study cited on this webpage, it was found that Athsma and Allergies were less likely to occur in children whose mother ate apples and fish while pregnant.

Just in case you waited too long to eat enough fish and apples, here are a few natural options to help deal with eczema, found on Scribd: http://www.scribd.com/doc/859739/How-To-Beat-Eczema-Naturally

• Aloe vera gel
• Borage oil
• Evening primrose oil
• Fish oil
• Multivitamins and multi-minerals
• Probiotics
• St John’s wort
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin E

Namaste,
