Pediatric Allergy and Immunology is something I never knew would fascinate me and in all likelihood it wouldn't have if my son didn't have an IgA Deficiency. But he does and so I read and learn and grow.

A study was recently done on 460 children living in Minorca, a Spanish island in the Mediterranean. No special diet was required, they were just looked after and wrote a food diary.

The results of the study are pretty interesting. Kids who ate the most tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, green beans, and zucchini were 62% least likely to have asthma or wheezing. Kids who ate more than 60 grams of fish per day were 57% less likely to test positive for allergies.

There you have it, Brian, we're having fish tonight.

No salt. No sugar. No preservatives. Might not float your boat but here is the good part. You can put the Daily Veggie powder into your regular foods. If you're not into mixing a drink of veggie juice, then sprinkle it onto your favorite dishes. You can even use this to make a delicious and healthy vegetable dip.

Why? Well, because this may be the only way to make sure your stubborn, picky eater will get their recommended about of vegetables. Each single-serve packet of My Daily Veggies contains two full servings of whole vegetables, as defined by the USDA.

Curious, but scared to try, it's okay, you can grab a My Daily Veggies Free Sample. I personally love V8 but compared to this mixture, I can see I haven't been really paying attention to the V8 label. One serving of V8 has 720mg of sodium! My Daily Veggies has 9mg of sodium. To me that difference is quite shocking. That fact in and of itself is convincing enough to me to tell me I need to switch.

Combine this with some exercise and sunshine and you've got yourself a routine that will keep your heart happy and your cholesterol low.
