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.

We have been buying this for years. We are big coffee in the morning people. However, we now enjoy this tea as a nice alternative. We haven't given up coffee but have definitely reduced how many morning coffees we have.
This is the first time we have ordered this tea. We have never liked chamomile tea before but after seeing some reviews, we decided to give it a go. We are so glad we did. It's a lovely tea. A lovely appley flavour. We will definitely be ordering again.
Definitely recommend, I mix it with my overnights oats almost every morning. Goes very well with fruit like blueberries or pretty much any other fruit to be honest
This is the second time of ordering this product and I will continue to order from this company. I have recommended to family as great to buy organic
I use bee pollen to help my prostate
I bought these for myself, my husband informed me last night that he's used them all. Really lovely tea
Bee pollen has become a part of our everyday routine. Since we started giving it to our son, in particular (who is slightly anaemic, which runs in my family), his health has completely changed. He is so much healthier now. I give it to all my children and take it myself.
The kids love the taste so much, we have to keep it on the highest shelf otherwise they will fill a bowl with it!
The latest batch that we bought is the most delicious yet. We're wondering if the bees were parking of some lavender. Whatever it is, it's amazing. It was out of stock for a little while and I had to keep checking the website as my children were asking for it.
Purchased milk thistle from this company. I have used this for many years but I have to say this is the most effective I have used from Health Market. Would definitely recommend. It contains no fillers only natural extract. Will definitely purchase again.
Really great product, good quality and good value
I was recommended Macca after having had a hysterectomy, I have been taking this supplement for almost 6 years. I feel it’s balanced my hormones, helped with women’s health, particularly in areas most required. I have 2 capsules per day & wouldn’t be without it.
If you’re unsure, give it a try, I find The Natural Health Market helpful and reliable, thank you.
I had been reading about the benefits of goji berries so decided to buy from NHM, delivery was quick, and compared to supermarket prices they are good value for money as you can buy different size bags to suit your needs. Resealable bag help to keep the berries fresh too ! I use them with my breakfast cereal and for snacking. I will purchase them again.
Lovely product, really good quality and I enjoy it in my smoothie every morning. Recommended.
I have bought these teabags as gifts and recently for myself. We all found that the tea has a very calming effect. Will definitely be buying some more.
The service from purchase to delivery is very efficient
I’m coming to the end of my second month using The Natural Health Market's Marine Collagen Powder, I can confidently say it has been a game changer—especially for my hair! I have noticed visible improvements, it has also become an easy and welcome addition to my daily routine.
Every morning, I mix two spoons of collagen powder (roughly 15g) with a teaspoon of organic cacao powder and a teaspoon of coconut sugar into my decaf coffee. I blend it with cold milk first then top up with hot water from the kettle. It tastes really good, feels like a treat while also supporting my well-being.
I’ve dubbed these three products the Power Throuple! The combination of marine collagen, rich cacao and coconut sugar, blends well, makes a great tasting and satisfying brew, keeps hunger at bay and delivers results!
