Whenever you change season, you always have moderate runny nose and sneezing. Have you been experiencing most of the people's good spirits all day long? In addition to taking medicine to relieve allergies, what other changes can we make in our lives to improve allergies? Today, let Sean, a brand nutritionist of "PrimePlus Health Designer" get allergies with you, and share dietary skills in daily life with you to fight allergies!
Causes of allergiesFor example, after eating seafood, I feel sick or sneezing during the season, etc. These are common allergies. The so-called allergies are actually the body's immune system, which treats some common substances in daily life such as cotton wool, pollen, seaweed, etc. as bacteria and viruses, thus causing excessive immune response. At present, scientists have divided into four types of allergic reactions according to the different mechanisms of allergic reactions. What we are going to explore today is the first type of allergic reaction that is most likely to encounter in ordinary people's lives. The following Sean will use pictures to briefly describe the reaction mechanism of type 1 allergy.
When we contact allergens, the antigen presenting cells in the body will swallow them, and then the information on the allergen is submitted to the helper T cells for analysis. After the analysis, the helper T cells will call the B cells to start secreting a large amount of anti-antibody into the blood, and at the same time, anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-cells will The body will also attach to the hypertrophic cells. When the hypertrophic cells contact allergens again, the hypertrophic cells will begin to produce inflammatory substances of organamines and cytokines, causing inflammation in the human body such as "red, kidney, heat, pain", so this is how the symptoms of allergies occur.
Distinguishing between allergies and coldsAccording to statistics, Taiwan has 20% of the total population with allergic rhinitis. In other words, one in every five people will experience nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, head pain and other symptoms when they are allergic. These symptoms are very similar to a cold, but we can still make corresponding solutions through the following points to distinguish the differences between the two.
‧Style temperature: The temperature during allergies is usually normal; and it may cause inflammation during colds, so the temperature is generally high.
‧Nose: The nasal fluid is transparent during allergies; green snot will appear during colds.
‧Larynx: There will be no obvious pain in the throat during an allergy; but there will be obvious pain in the throat during a cold.
‧Body condition: There will be no physical pain during allergies; there will be symptoms of back pain when catching a cold.
‧Course: Allergies generally last for several days or even months; the course of colds can be cured in about one week.
※Reminder: If you find that you or your friends around you have severe allergic reactions such as difficulty breathing, measles, nausea and vomiting, you should still treat it as soon as possible!
5 Anti-allergic diet tips
Now we understand the causes of allergies and know how to distinguish allergies from colds, but the most important thing is how we should improve the chance of allergies and reduce the discomfort caused by light allergies. From daily life habits, you can reduce the possibility of allergies through the following points:
Normal work and rest, adjust dietary habits, regular exercise, maintain good indoor air quality, remote allergens, and eat less foods containing too much additives. The simplest and most natural way is to start with our meal plate! The following Sean lists several special ingredients and ingredients that can help improve allergies in this chapter. Let’s take a look!
‧Vitamin A: Diet such as pig liver, pumpkin, and spinach contain rich vitamin A. In addition to protecting night vision, vitamin A can also promote epithelial cell division and proliferation, maintain the health of the eyes, nose, and oral mucosa, and effectively block allergens.
‧Vitamin C: Bagua, green cauliflower and bell pepper among fruits and vegetables are all good choices to supplement Vitamin C. In addition to synthesizing gelatin, scientists have also found that vitamin C is also very important in immune regulation. In addition to keeping immune cells alive, it can also control the life cycle of these cells and avoid excessive immune responses from excessive activity and causing harm to the body. However, since vitamin C is a very unstable vitamin, it is easy to lose due to environmental factors such as lighting and heating when food is prepared. Therefore, choosing to supplement vitamin C in the form of health food is also a very efficient way.
‧Vitamin D: Foods rich in vitamin D include black fungus, ginger, dried mushrooms, etc. Research has found that many immune cells in the body have positions that can be combined with vitamin D, called "vitamin D receptors", which means that vitamin D is also needed to enable the normal operation of immune cells.
‧Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids are mostly found in foods such as kiya seeds, ginger, walnut …. In addition, this type of fatty acid can help the body lower blood lipids and anti-thrombosis, but it can also effectively help the body fight inflammation, improve immune manifestations, and reduce the possibility of cell carcinogenesis. With the health awareness, many fish oil products containing Omega-3 have also appeared on the market. If you are a foreign foodie or someone who is difficult to get Omega-3, choosing a safe and secure fish oil health product for daily supplementation is also a good choice..
‧Probiotics: Fermented dairy products such as buttermilk, ego or probiotics Health foods contain rich probiotics. More and more studies have shown that the function of probiotics in the kidneys is not only to maintain the function of the digestive tract, but also to help us adjust our immune function and reduce the occurrence of allergies. It should be noted here that many probiotic products will add many artificial spices and other unnecessary additives to make them delicious. Therefore, when choosing probiotic products, remember to pay special attention to product ingredients.
World Allergy Organization (WAO) and World Health Organization (WHO) will place July 8 each year as World Allergic Disease Day, hoping to increase people's attention and attention to allergic diseases. At the same time, the world's hygiene organizations have also listed allergies as a disease that has been studied and prevented in the 21st century, so it can be seen that allergies have become a highly concerned issue worldwide. To fulfill our knowledge and protect the people around us have become the direction we must strive for. Through the article, we will convey the correct health care knowledge to everyone, which is also the ideal pursued by "PrimePlus Health Designer". I believe that after reading this article, you will have a deeper understanding of allergy, so let us start now and create a better life for ourselves and our friends with knowledge!
