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.

I’ve bought products from this company for a few years now. The products are good quality. I like the packaging as I can use tins for storage. The delivery is prompt. Recommended.
We love the ginger and peppermint teas, nothing like the tasteless ones sold in shops, quick delivery and all recyclable 👍
First came across this tea on holiday in Egypt decades ago and have since learned of its anti-inflammatory properties. I don’t like ordinary tea and hibiscus makes a nice change to coffee throughout the day. For a sweet tooth add a spoonful of honey for a warming winter drink, or chill in the fridge for a refreshing cool one, so versatile. Great price and super-fast delivery, won’t need to look elsewhere for my supplies.
I found it difficult to find a ginger tea without any additions (like liquorice) and have been very impressed by this ginger tea. It’s delicious on its own but occasionally I will add a little honey. A new favourite drink for me.
Perfect tea. Love this brand. I always buy my supplements from here.
I've been buying these for a couple of years now and have only positive things to say about both the product and the company. My wife and I love the taste and it is comforting to know that this is an entirely organic product. The flavour is subtle, rather than strong, which will suit those who want the health benefits but are concerned that the ginger may be overpowering. My orders are invariably despatched quickly, usually the same day, and the product always arrives in perfect condition. In summary, I am very satisfied and will continue to use The Natural Health Market.
This ashwagandha from NHM really does work , they use the root which is the strongest and best form of ashwagandha which most other outlets dont do and within a few days of taking it the differences are very obvious , bought vitamins for many years from many outlets and NHM are just about the most ethical and fairly priced company i have ever come across , free first class delivery and free phone number i use to place my orders very hard to think of a better organic outlet than natural health market ---
We never thought we can get Ginger like this, fantastic. We use 1 heaped tablespoon in a strainer teapot when family begin to have sniffles or a rough throat and this knocks it all out. We also brew it with hibiscus leaves and cloves...AMAZING!!! Will continue to purchase from this company.
Delighted with prompt delivery. I am convinced that regular use of these capsules is the reason why I no longer need ibuprofen after playing tennis.
What a stunning find, for me one of the most authentic tasting hibiscus teas I have had the pleasure of drinking and buying, if this is your tipple I certainly recommend it.
Having lived in the far east for some time I used fresh lemon grass boiled to make a tea to help lower my blood pressure. It appeared to do this. Now living in the U.K. I discovered that Natural Health sold tea lemon grass tea bags. They make a nice tea and hopefully keep me healthy.
Good product and qick delivery. I am very satisfied with the products offered by this company..
I recommend with confidence.
As always the product are good, fresh and do the job they are supposed to do.
Thank you Natural Health
These teabags only contain chopped ginger- no additives or artificial flavours.
Can make them weak or strong. Great alternative to black tea, ginger a natural immunity booster
