Asthma is the most common chronic condition in kids.
It’s an inflammatory disorder of the airways — the tubes that carry air to and from a person’s lungs.
Although not all children have the same symptoms, many experience recurrent coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
Older research indicates that early introduction of oats, for example, may actually protect children from developing asthma .
One study reports that feeding oats to infants before they are 6 months old is associated with a decreased risk of childhood asthma.
