Do you think diet affects allergies?
Am I lucky, or is there more to it? I really want to believe that diet plays a large part in this. Some people think that's crazy, but in general I feel like a large percentage of common ailments could be cured by change in diet. So could seemingly healthy people be causing their own allergies by eating food loaded with chemicals and pesticides and hormones? I think so, of course I have no proof otherwise nor am I a professional.
I do know that since I have changed my diet (I've always eaten healthy balanced meals) to be mostly organic, I very rarely get sick or tired, unless there is a very good reason. I have seen people who seem to be chronically sick go to McDonald's or Taco Bell for lunch in the middle of complaining that they don't feel well. I have also seen people who have chronic allergies drinking many sodas per day while eating candy bars for lunch, then go to the doctor for an allergy shot.
I really have no idea, but I do feel like most people look for a pill or some other sort of medicine before fixing the obvious, and I would like to believe that the way I take care of myself is at least part of the reason that I am healthy.
