Propuesta de recetas saludables para el fortalecimiento del sistema inmunológico de niños con asma mediante la aplicación de técnicas gastronómicas sencillas como parte del proyecto “factores asociados a la respuesta terapéutica en niños asmáticos en el contexto del sarscov-2” del Departamento de Biociencias de la Universidad de Cuenca

Abstract

Bad eating habits at an early age lead to getting some type of disease, including asthma, since the immune system is weak and does not generate defenses. The main focus of this research is on using gastronomy as a tool to improve the health of asthmatic children. Thus, a study is proposed on the characteristics of the main foods that children with asthma should eat to establish preparations based on the results of this study. In this context, a healthy eating guide is presented, especially for children who have this condition so that they receive a diet rich in fresh foods that provide them with vitamins and minerals to minimize the repercussions caused by childhood asthma and in turn strengthen the immune system. Within this research, the design of innovative, healthy and easy-to-prepare recipes is contemplated through the application of simple gastronomic techniques with emphasis on the use of fruits, vegetables and other nutritious and seasonal ingredients, giving special importance to the Mediterranean Diet.
