• Allergy-Provoking Nutrients.

  
  

  “Just as some things in your diet can help to alleviate your allergy or asthma symptoms, others might be linked to worsened symptoms. Try to decrease your consumption of the following foods that can promote inflammation.”

  
  

  Everytime I drink milk, I get a fever and I get sick for weeks. Anybody expreriencing the same thing? It’s gotten so bad that I think I permanently damanged my vocal chords; I can’t sing in the range that I used to be able to. (That’s why I haven’t done a video for you yet Kiwihead, it’s because I’ve been sick alot lately).

  
  

  Then I saw this on msn.com

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  Milk and Cheese
  Milk protein is a common irritant of the immune system.

  
  

  

  
  

  Omega-6 Fatty Acids
  Although you need some of these acids for good health, they can intensify inflammation and other immune responses. Foods that are high in omega-6s include cottonseed, corn, and sunflower oils and processed foods such as mayonnaise and salad dressings.

  
  

  

  
  

  Protein
  It should account for no more than 10 percent of your daily caloric intake. Observe the recommended daily allowance of no more than 50 g.

  
  

  

  
  

  Saturated Fats
  Whether they come from plant or animal sources, they trigger the release of inflammatory chemicals.

  
  

  

  
  

  Trans Fats
  Rates of asthma and allergies in teens are highest in countries where people eat the most trans fats. Avoid products that contain partially hydrogenated oil.

  
  

  I eat everything and more of the above items. They’re all my favourite foods. I must be killing my body at an exponential rate eh. You know what they say, they say that how a woman takes care of her man, is shown in how she takes care of her own body.

  Well then…
