How to get rid of allergies and inflammation.

If you suffer from allergies or inflammation, you may want to consider an elimination diet. The following are some symptoms you may be experiencing:

Inflammation:

• body aches and pains in general
• mental and physical exhaustion
• Skin conditions and rashes
• Continually enlarged lymph nodes
• Low-grade fever
• intestinal problems

Allergies:

• sneezing or a runny nose
• pain or tenderness around your cheeks, eyes or forehead
• breathlessness, wheezing or coughing
• diarrhea, hives, or itchy, raised skin
• or experiencing sickness
• eyes, lips, throat, or mouth swelling

How to detect the food that’s harming you

First, we need to figure out what we eat on a regular basis that is hurting our bodies.

The gold standard for detecting which foods have become toxic to your body is the elimination diet, or autoimmune protocol (AIP). These foods cause inflammation and are experienced as food sensitivities or allergies. By following this basic diet for people with food allergies and then slowly reintroducing the foods you usually eat, you will be able to see how your body reacts. This is because you have unmasked your allergy. Now you can avoid these foods, eliminating inflammation and allergies, and try them again later.

Foods we eat regularly stay in our bodies, even if we don’t eat them every day. This depends on bowel motility or the transit time (time taken for a food to be entirely excreted after ingestion).  A food that is toxic for you (this can even be a food that’s considered healthy) may take up to four days to leave your body. 

This typically entails substituting overly processed foods, refined carbohydrates and added sugar for fresh produce, nuts, whole grains, and fatty fish in your diet.

Food culprit revealed

Once we’ve not been exposed to a particular food for a few days, we re-introduce it back into our diet. Any previously masked or hidden allergy symptoms will now reveal themselves. This is because the body has not needed to continually cope with the constant presence of the food in question. When we eat that food after a break, the inflammation and allergies will show up. 

Someone who suspects wheat is a problem food might try eliminating it from their diet for four days. On the fifth day, he eats a wheat-based breakfast and suddenly displays obvious symptoms. Stomach pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea or constipation, fever, shaking, painful joints, and anxiety are examples. This reveals their unmasked allergy to a food that they’ve perhaps eaten daily, throughout their life. These allergy symptoms can also change over time; for example, a child may have asthma and later in life develop eczema or joint pain.

Following an elimination diet like the Autoimmune Protocol will eliminate the vast majority of food culprits. As you add back foods one at a time, you will be able to identify which ones have been causing you problems. Follow the link to learn how to implement this very effective protocol that thousands of people successfully use to help heal their bodies.

This approach will at least eliminate the assaults on our system caused by foods we cannot tolerate at a certain time in our lives. It will also guide us to eat a more nutrient-dense diet while enjoying healthier meals.

Food Quality

Unfortunately, due to the quality of food nowadays, even organic, we cannot fulfill all our nutrient requirements with food alone. We’ll start to break this down in future posts.

Along with an anti-inflammatory diet, also consider adding a regular exercise routine to your day. Exercise is generally good for just about every component of your health, including inflammation. Exercise has been found to release proteins that help to fight inflammation. Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week can have a significant effect on your health. Find an activity that you like and can maintain.

Chronic stress can also be a major contributor to chronic inflammation. Chronic stress causes the release of hormones that can put extra pressure on your immune system, making you feel even worse. Exercise can go a long way toward relieving stress, but you can also look into breathing exercises, yoga, or even just spending time with friends to let some of that stress go.

Additionally, you can ensure you are getting what your body needs with smart supplementation, using Biosuperfood Microalgae. The formula contains all existing nutrients (known and unknown to man), as this superfood forms the foundation of all things growing on our planet. Discover how this is possible!
