Nuts, vegetables, fruits, and protein dietary pattern during pregnancy is inversely associated with risk of childhood allergies: a case–control study

This study found that pregnant women who ate more nuts, vegetables, fruits, and protein had children with significantly lower rates of allergies.

The findings suggest that eating a nutrient-rich diet during pregnancy may help protect babies from developing allergies and other immune-related conditions.
