Double portion of food allergies in Switzerland
On May 27, 2017, we learned in the newspaper Le Matin that both children and adults were increasingly affected by allergies. On March 26, 2018, same newspaper, same observation (see the article).
Very often crossed allergies, the immune system reacting badly in the presence of different types of allergens such as pollen, animal hair, certain foods...
For my part, from my tender childhood to adulthood, I have come across a considerable number of allergies and I am very happy not to have to deal with them anymore, even from a distance; it has changed my life! Heredity plays an important role, my mom had hay fever, asthma, was making food allergies and well me too with some skin problems and canker sores depending on what I was eating...
The article also blames the current excess of hygiene which no longer exposes us sufficiently to the micro-organisms of our environment, weakening our immune system. Ah, finally! the key word is dropped; the immune system... which largely comes from our gut. Moreover, it is even more important to support the microbiota of an individual if he was born by cesarean section and he did not have the chance to enjoy the good breast milk... cf. the book "Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ" by Giulia Enders.
So how do we reinforce this famous defense system?
The newspaper's article also says that there is no treatment for these allergy problems, I do not agree with this. My personal and nutritionist experience demonstrates that we can greatly limit, or even eliminate, allergy problems.
This involves increasing the intake of good bacteria in the gut, but also strengthening the antioxidant system of our body, which is why I recommend taking spirulina daily with probiotics in case of allergies. The excellent feedback received on my "allergy preparation" pack proves to me, if necessary, that the key to allergy is indeed the gut and inflammation.
One thing I will always be allergic to is the renunciation of solutions, especially if they are natural!
