Did you know that some of the healthy foods you eat, even ones that you eat frequently, may actually be making you feel bad, as well as\u00a0<b>harming<\/b>\u00a0your overall health?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Sometimes even a \u2018good\u2019 food can be \u2018bad\u2019 for a certain individual, due to their personal allergies and sensitivities.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For optimal health, it is beneficial to determine the best foods for you to eat to help you feel, look and live your best, as well as determine the foods that you should avoid.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You may think that you don\u2019t have any food sensitivities, but perhaps the symptoms have gone unnoticed. Your body, however, is very aware of the sensitivity and it is affecting you internally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are two types of allergic reactions to food. One is easier for you to identify, the other often goes unnoticed and unaddressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The 2 Types of Allergic Reaction<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Immediate Reaction:<\/b>\u00a0this occurs within hours of ingesting the specific food item<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Symptoms can vary including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Wheezing<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Coughing<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Nausea<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Abdominal Cramps<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Throat Constriction<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Tingling Extremities<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Diarrhea<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Because of the immediate, usually strong reaction after eating a certain food, it is usually easier to tell that you are allergic to something and what that specific item is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Delayed Reaction:<\/b>\u00a0these symptoms occur\u00a0<b>up to 72 hours<\/b>\u00a0after food is ingested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Because of the delayed reaction, it\u2019s often difficult to tell which food you have sensitivity to (think of all the different things you eat in a 3 day period!)\u00a0 Unidentified food sensitivities can actually contribute to many serious illnesses including Rheumatoid Arthritis, Infections and even Eczema, as well as many others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Foods that you have a sensitivity to can cause internal inflammation in your body, which opens the door to potential future serious health conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The Most Common\u00a0<\/b>Sensitivity<b>\u00a0Causing Foods Are:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Milk<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Wheat<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Soy<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Eggs<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Peanuts<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Fish<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s3\">Shellfish<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><span class=\"s1\">Tree Nuts<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Though these items are the most common foods people have sensitivities to, there are many others foods that can cause a inflammation reaction as well.
