It contains cyanidin-3-glucoside, an anthocyanin that can help the body in the production of nitric oxide, which gives the walls of blood vessels more flexible, reducing stress on the heart and increasing blood flow, which reduces the risk of vessel blockage by thrombus formation.

Developed by Swedish scientists, the research included infants of about five thousand families who fish intake in the first months of life reduced by 25 percent the risk of developing the condition.

Subjected to dietary control and regular checkups, was apparent when comparing the data at six and twelve months to introduce the fish in the diet before the child reached nine months, there was a reduced risk of developing the disease in 25 per cent.

Before establishing this diet, one in five children suffering from the disorder and their first symptoms appear within four months.

The presence of omega-3 fatty acids could partly explain the effects noted in the investigation. However, there was no difference between those who ate white fish and those who ate other types, also rich in omega-3.

An expert from the National Eczema Society UK said the study confirms that the genetic component of the disorder may be the most significant, so parents should avoid using harsh soaps or detergents on the skin of children with families predisposed to skin condition.
