Women who eat a Mediterranean diet while pregnant could help stave off asthma and allergies in their children, a new study suggests. The traditional Mediterranean diet is rich in plant-based foods – vegetables, fruits, whole-grain breads and cereals, legumes and nuts – as well as olive oil and fish. Adherents consume low to moderate amounts of dairy products and eggs, and lesser amounts of white meat, and they eat red meat infrequently. – Reuters
