Trivia: Which condition did Theodore Roosevelt suffer from as a child?
Asthma
Polio
Scoliosis
All of the above
The correct answer is Asthma
So why is this answer correct? : Throughout his life, Theodore Roosevelt was concerned with health, fitness, and toughness, in part because of all the ailments he experienced as a child. He was frequently sick, and at the age of three began suffering severe asthma attacks. Roosevelt was treated with electric shock, massage, and was prescribed black coffee and cigar smoking. While none of those treatments helped, Roosevelt credited exercise and his love of fresh air for reducing his asthma as he got older.
