BlackCurrants For Asthma?

Filed Under Allergy Blog 

Yes it may be possible that blackcurrants might help people suffering from allergy induced asthma, at least according to new research done in New Zealand. Researchers at PFR (Plant and Food Research) a government owned research company found that blackcurrants reduced lung inflammation caused by allergy induced asthma. 

Blackcurrant contains epigallocatechin a natural antioxidant which may provide support for the bodies own natural immune system. Fruit consumption has for sometime been thought of as a relieving asthma symptoms and this study may be one of the first to reveal why.

If this research is accurate blackcurrant might be a good addition to your diet. At the very least blackcurrants are a very rich source of vitamin C and contain omega-6 fatty acids which are vital to your overall health and well being.

Blackcurrants are also used by naturopaths for treatment of depression sometimes because of the nutrients that they contain.
