Prevention and helpful tips to avoid further deterioration.
Foods that we crave or eat on daily bases can be the main offenders for allergies. When a substance is suspected to be the primary culprit of an allergic reaction – we must need to identify that and avoid eating.
- Avoid sugar, sodas, sweetened juices etc., as they damage the immune system.
- Avoid alcohol, coffee, deep-fried, fatty, cold or raw foods.
- Avoid stress, negative emotions and exhaustion, as they weaken the immune system too.
- Get plenty of sleep and relaxation.
- Sunbathing for 20 to 30 minutes a day can be helpful to stimulate skin immunity and inhibit bacterial activity.
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. This will help to thin secretions, making them easier to clear.
- Fasting is one of the oldest methods to eliminate all possible food allergens and allowing the body a period of cleansing.
- During fasting only use distilled or spring water, vegetables and fruit juices.
