Eating salmon and cod could prevent the onset of breathing problems among young children according to scientists.
A study revealed that babies who were fed fish before they were nine months old were half as likely to report wheezing later in life compared to those who weren’t.
It is hoped the findings will encourage parents to reassess their children’s eating habits.
Researchers from the University of Gothenburg investigated 4,171 randomly selected families.
Each child’s diet was assessed along with their health at six months, 12 months and four and a half years.
At the final checkup one in five had experienced at least one episode of childhood wheezing and one in 20 had experienced recurring wheezing.
