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 been buying these from here for a long time and have zero complaints. My order always arrives quickly and these have helped so much with anxiety. I took them every day for quite a while, but stopped when life calmed down for me a bit and didn't need them. Recent work stress has been making me feel more anxious than I'd like so I ordered some more and I feel more relaxed. Great brand, great product. Thank you.
Excellent product simple to order and competitive price, always go back as you always have what I am looking for
This drink is delicious and refreshing, and the best thing about it is that it levels out your blood sugar levels 😋. Try it!
Your tea is wonderful and refreshing.
What more can I say!!
Superb.
If you were to buy your protein powder from Holland and Barrett you will see on the packaging it is made in China. How is quality control carried out?
I trust Natural health market a small family run business run by clean nutritious food enthusiasts who source locally. You choose which supplier to trust!
The package arrived quickly and in good order. The turmeric has a nice mellow and gentle flavour, some products can taste quite powerful and synthetic but this has a gentle earthiness. Also loved my bonus peppermint tea bags!
A friend recommended this because she said she's been drinking it every day for years and hasn't been ill since. Unfortunately that hasn't worked for me but I'm not as religious about taking it. I do feel maybe I'm sick for less time since I've been drinking it reasonably regularly.... Another friend of mine loves it and I've just bought her a packet.
Your Hemp tea is sublime.
I am thoroughly enjoying.
Thank you so very much.
I plan to investigate/sample other teas in the very near future.
Thank you
Love these - great flavour as always from Natural Health
Ginger is a natural anti inflammatory so I like to drink this tea to help when ever needed, in particular for my digestive system & sinus inflammation. I particularly like that these are organic & are not mixed with other flavours. Although I don't drink these regularly I feel confident & comforted that I can rely on these quality organic ginger tea bags.
Fast delivery, high quality, recommend
These ginger tea bags are fantastic! The flavor is warm and spicy, perfect for soothing the stomach and relaxing any time of day. No bitterness, just a pure, refreshing ginger taste. Highly recommend for ginger lovers!
A friend recommended these to help combat the effects of radiotherapy and I am very pleased to say they are also delicious.
Really good product, this is my third time ordering it. Service is fantastic too, convenient packaging for initial purchase (buying the tin) and subsequent refill packs
