Allergies and Your Diet

Almost everyone has allergies. Some were transferred before you were even born. Many are acquired with poor eating habits. Others are acquired from solvents, personal care products, and pesticides on fruits and vegetables. If your body is overloaded with the above, you can have low vitality and ill health leading to chronic diseases. Usually it is more than one chemical that causes the problem. What to do?

• Limit your intake of highly refined, processed foods and sugar. When you eliminate wheat and sugar products from your diet, there can many times be a drop in allergic reactions.
• Take a "natural" digestive enzyme that is compatible with your body. The battle with toxins begins in the digestive system. The digestive system tries to break down the toxins, becomes overburdened and the liver cannot handle the load.
• Digestive enzymes can help. They break down protein which is thought to lead to adverse food reactions. But when synthetic supplements are used, it can place even more stress on the body as the body tries to rid itself of the foreign substance. Taking digestive enzymes between meals can help reduce endotoxins in the blood.
• Stay organic if possible.
• Reduce scented products.
