New and exciting research recently published states that eating a balanced healthy diet that consists of fruit, whole grain and green leafy vegetables can have major health benefits for asthma sufferers.
Recent laboratory studies conducted and published by the journal Nature Medicine, clearly demonstrate that a high fibre, nutrient rich diet can reduce inflammation in the lungs. Reducing inflammation in the lungs helps ease asthma sufferers outbreaks.
A healthy balanced diet that is high fibre can change the nutrients that the stomach can absorb from the food it digests. This benefits the immune system by allowing the body to produce and absorb more fatty acids.
Scientists link a change in eating habits over the past 50 years, to a rise in those experiencing allergic asthma attacks.
Eating habits in recent decades have changed, from a diet consisting of mainly fresh home cooked meals, to one that is high in processed foods, salt, sugars and oils.
Modern eating trends are swaying towards diets that consist of a higher percentage of processed foods; this is responsible for the significant increase in the numbers of allergic asthma sufferers and sufferers of other respiratory illnesses.
Asthma sufferers are more sensitive to environmental changes; their airways become easily irritated and inflamed.
During an asthma attack airways become inflamed and it becomes hard to breath.
The human stomach is host to trillions of bacteria both good and bad.
Maintaining a balanced nutrient rich, high fibre diet, changes the types of bacteria and the quantities of them in the gut.
Bacteria that prefer to live on soluble fibre – the kind provided by fruit and vegetables – produce more short chain fatty acids; fatty acids are easier for the body to absorb into the blood and help destroy 'free radicals', boosting the immune system.
Researchers stated that having higher levels of these fatty acids in the blood makes the respiratory system more resilient to irritation, inflammation and infection.
Clinical trails were carried out on laboratory mice. The mice were split into two groups, one given a high fibre diet and the other processed low fibre foods.
The report said “Recent increases in the number of reported cases of allergic asthma is comprehensively documented in developed countries. This increase seems to be directly related to a reduction in the amount of fibre consumed in the average diet and diets that consist of a high percentage of processed foods.”
The head scientist, Dr Benjamin Marsland, told us “There is a high probability [that the results seen in the laboratory mice] will be replicated in humans. Although the levels of fibre and concentrations of short-chain fatty acids are likely to be different.”
Dr Marshland also said that an alternative to eating a high fibre diet is dietary supplements, and foods that contain purified fatty acids may well produce similar results.
This research provides more conclusive evidence that the body require a balanced lifestyle, of which the cornerstone should be a healthy nutritious diet.

Such a brilliant product, delivery swift and the quality! I feel so refreshed ever since I started taking it.
This is the best organic cacao powder I have ever had , and is definitely the purest.
I have purine accumulation which causes pain in muscles and joints similar to athritis and it can fool doctors into thinking it is athritis.
I use sour cherry juice and hibiscus tea and a low purine diet and I have alleviated my symptoms greatly.
I had a fortnight without my hibiscus tea and the symptoms came back.
I drink the tea without addititives and it is an acquired taste but now I quite enjoy it knowing how it improves my health and well being,
Excellent product. I am happy with the tea. It tastes so good and it's real organic.
The service is brilliant and extremely easy. Received the order quickly and well packaged. The quality of the Acerola is great and far better than others I have tried. I definitely will be ordering again
I always buy this psyllium husk as it gives a lovely colour, flavour and softness to my gluten free bread. Many of the other brands make my bread purple!
Im addicted to the this turmeric! I have terrible inflammation in my joints and this is the only one thing that actually helps and believe me I’ve tried all pain killers and anti inflammatory tablets.
Incredible natural multivitamin!
So much better than powder so much easier *****
Love Moringa! natures all round multi mineral and vitamin. Great service, products and ethics from TNHM
Delighted to find yerba mate tea in a bag form,organic as well. Was introduced to yerba mate tea by an Argentinian friend,who brews it in her proper "pot with a spout"& used as a sharing device with friends. It's an acquired taste,but I love it & it gives a boost instead of coffee. Very happy with service & purchase.
Strong & fresh-tasting peppemint tea-temples,one of the nicest I've had.
I bought these to take on holiday as I usually use the powder. Service was excellent and product looks good, I am sure it will be really good and so convenient for when I am away
Bought some psyllium husk and it's been great.
I'll be buying this again.
