With spring comes allergies. Here are some natural ways to ease your allergic reactions. 

Nowadays, many people are choosing to consume alternatives to dairy. More and more, people are realizing that dairy does not contribute to overall health. What’s the reasoning behind this shift? Studies show that 40% of people are unable to digest milk properly after childhood. There is a particular enzyme that successfully breaks down milk sugar, and many people simply do not have it. 

Food sensitivities and allergies are among the most common types of allergies a person can experience. Common food allergies include eggs, fish, milk, nuts, peanuts, shellfish, soy, wheat, and dairy. These sensitivities can wreak havoc on the body in a variety of ways. Getting tested for allergies is highly recommended, as many people learn to live with the side effects of their sensitivities, not realizing this is the reason why they are experiencing negative symptoms.

A person’s diet plays a very large role in both physical and cognitive function. Therefore, if a person has a particular nutritional sensitivity, it can impact a person’s daily performance without the person even realizing it. One of the most under diagnosed food sensitivities today is gluten, a protein specifically found in wheat, rye, and barley.
