An allergy is a response by the immune system of human body to
certain foreign substances. These substances are called allergens.
Allergens can be anything from food items to dust and drugs. Different
people are allergic to different substances.
Food sensitivities or 'allergies' are common, affecting more than 70% of the population in the U.S. For many of those people, it is assumed that food allergies are something they simply have to tolerate throughout their life. However, this is simply wrong. You CAN take steps to keep those allergies under control.
For example, food allergies and intolerances can be quite severe for people whose bodies do not produce sufficient digestive enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that help in digesting our food. They are mainly comprised of proteins and have a specific, 3-dimensional structure. The human body produces 22 different kinds of enzymes in order to digest carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
If your body is not producing enough enzymes, you need to eat enzyme-rich foods. Raw fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of enzymes. Conversely, over-cooked food is bad for us. Why? The enzymes are destroyed by over-cooking. The digestion of cooked foods is difficult, mostly because it lacks valuable metabolic enzymes. For this reason, a LOT more energy is spent in digesting cooked food when compared to raw food. (Ever get very tired after eating?)
All of these factors lead us to why there is a big connection between digestive enzymes and food allergies. A shortage of digestive enzymes can lead to large amounts of undigested food molecules piling up inside the body, including in the gut wall. This undigested food can actually feed bacteria present in the gut, allowing the bacteria to multiply, eventually leading to allergies or other health problems.
Most food allergies occur due to proteins not breaking down completely. These partially broken proteins enter the bloodstream and act as allergens. Low levels of stomach acid can lead to incomplete protein digestion, hence the problem of food intolerance.
It should be clear to you by now that one of the ways to treat food allergies is to take digestive enzyme supplements. Be careful about which enzyme product you are using. It should provide the following to your body - lipase, amylase and protease, and should be made from natural ingredients. Of course another way to treat this problem is to eat lots of raw, uncooked food. Fruits, vegetables, sprouted seeds and grains can prove very beneficial.
