Advanced Health Chiropractic Article: Don’t Let Allergies Hold You Back

When spring finally starts to bloom, do your allergies start to show themselves as well?

When you want to spend the beautiful days outside in the sun, are you stopped in your tracks by a runny nose and itchy eyes?

Or do you have food allergies that affect your life all year long?

Whatever it may be, there are effective, life changing, natural things that you can do to boost your immune system and stave off those annoying allergies.

Look to your diet first

Allergies are a result of your body rejecting and fighting off substances that normally shouldn’t initiate an immune response. The immune system becomes weakened by the body constantly being in an inflammatory state. So what makes an inflammatory state? Sugar, dairy, and gluten all create an acidic pH in the body, which contributes to inflammation.

You want to focus on making a more alkaline environment for your body, which includes eating a lot of vegetables, fruits, and lean protein. Oddly enough, lemons also make for a more alkaline body environment.

When it comes to food allergies, focus on cleaning up your GI tract. When your gut is bombarded by processed foods, antibiotics, and sugar, all of the good, normal bacteria die, leaving an open breeding ground for the bad bacteria to take over, and create a “leaky gut”. A leaky gut allows larger particles of food to move through the intestinal wall without being broken down into its smaller parts.

When immune cells come into contact with these larger particles, they don’t recognize them as friendly and attack. Hence, an immune response is initiated and you may feel symptoms like nausea, stomach cramps, general discomfort and bloating. Clean up your gut by eating fresh vegetables and fruit, and repopulate your good bacteria by taking a good quality probiotic.

To reduce inflammation even more, start taking omega 3 fish oil supplements. Omega 3 from fish oil reduces inflammation in the same way as NSAIDs do without the side effects and with other heart and brain benefits as well.

Try acupuncture

Since acupuncture boosts the immune system, some benefit has been seen in reducing the severity and occurrence of allergies. Boost your immune system and feel great naturally!

Get adjusted

Ensure your neurologic system is working at its peak to improve immunity and reduce inflammation by getting adjusted by your chiropractor. Chiropractic adjustments make sure your spine is in line so that the nerves exiting from the spinal cord can function optimally going out to every other system and cell in your body.

When that happens, there is less sensitivity of the immune system, so that it won’t mistake harmless particles for invaders that need to be attacked. Allergies don’t need to stop you from enjoying the things in life that you love! Make the changes in your life today that will provide you with a higher quality of life.
