Disaster comes from modern life named: Food allergy

Human ancestors did not suffer from summer fever, nor did they suffer from food allergies. Today, people get enough!

In the history of English vocabulary, the concept of "allergy" has only been around since 1906. And since then, the number of people with food allergies has increased dramatically.

According to the British Food Standards Agency, about 5-8% of children and 1-2% of adults have food allergies. For those who do not know, that number is equivalent to nearly 1 million children.

There are about 5-8% of children and 1-2% of adults with food allergies.

Rare in the past, but more and more

It was not until the nineteenth century that he learned of the so-called summer fever (English name "fever"). According to Dr. John Bostock's report, scanning the kingdom at that time also correctly identified 28 cases of the disease.

Before the 1990s, peanut allergies were so few that almost no records were mentioned. In the 2015 article, Paul Turner argued that even though allergies occurred during this period, there were no deaths.

Allergies are not inherited.

However, the number of allergies from 1992 to 2012 increased to 615%. And now both the allergy and the summer fever are everywhere, and even considered one of the deadly dangers.

When British doctor Katie Allen conducted food allergy monitoring in 5300 Australian children, she thought only about one in 20 babies under 1 year old with this symptom was the same. No doubt the number is twice as many, the 1/10 baby.

Summer fever is out of talk. Even adults are sick when the weather turns hot, let alone children.

Not related to genetic causes

The results of DNA research confirm that both hay fever and allergies are not inherited. This also means that our ancestors had no faults in whether their descendants can now be anaphylaxis leading to loss of life due to food allergies.

According to experts, the increase in food allergy is due to 3 reasons:

1. Slow contact with allergens

Most parents are now too cautious and cautious about changing baby food.

Of course, they are only worried about their children's health. But being careful is sometimes counterproductive. The practice of eating late solid foods only makes it more difficult for babies to get used to, easily become picky to eat, then be able to form allergies.

Being too careful in eating makes children more likely to become picky eaters, and then be able to develop allergies.

Test results by Professor Gideon Lack from King College London showed that 17% of 5-year-old children do not eat peanuts that are allergic when they try it. As for babies of the same age early sipping peanut snacks before, only 3% are allergic.

2. Lack of contact with nature

As soon as the mother was born, the human body was forced to come into contact with the number of bacteria in the same living environment. However, thanks to being close to the flora and fauna that this immature creature also knew soon, then absorbed into the intestinal tract an army of beneficial bacteria.

Through the process of evolution and selection (during thousands of years of harmony among nature), the human body finally formed a perfect immune system to survive.

Excessive covering of children is the cause of increasing allergies.

But we suddenly threw the body which only adapts to the pure nature into the city full of dirt, pollution and cramp. Suddenly "swapped" , the immune system became confused. It can be misclassified and mistakenly thought that harmless bacteria in the gut are harmful and kill the hand, leading to an imbalance.

Once the intestinal problem, food allergies are also very easy to "visit".

3. Lack of vitamin D due to less exposure to sunlight

Another study conducted in Australia confirmed: Infants with less exposure to sunlight will be more likely to be allergic to eggs than children who absorb 3 times more natural vitamin D, and with bean allergies. It is 11 times.

The intense sun in the heart of the city only makes us want to get inside. The phenomenon of vitamin D deficiency thus becomes very popular. As for the babies, this shortage is especially large, because some people have enough liver to bring their children to the sun outside.
