This Fruit Is The Most Powerful Antioxidant Food For Your Immune System

by

Now, I’m sure you know that most fruits contain a wide variety of beneficial nutrients for our bodies, but have you heard about the amazing guava fruit?

This fruit recently became known as “the ultimate superfood,” because of both its medicinal and nutritional benefits. Guavas grow in Mexico, Central, and South America, and have a tangy, sweet, tropical flavor. It contains copious amounts of antioxidants and vitamins, and the skin can even be used in cooking and baking. The leaves, seeds and skin can also be consumed or used for medicinal purposes.

Because guavas are both low in calories and contain many important vitamins and minerals for the human body, it easily deserves the title “The Ultimate Superfood,” in our opinion. Below, we’ll tell you a little bit more about why you should consider buying guavas at your local grocer and making them a staple in your diet.

Here’s why guava is the most powerful antioxidant food for your immune system:

According to the USDA, 100 grams of guava fruit contain the following nutrients:

fruit

  • 68 calories
  • 14.3 grams carbohydrate
  • 2.6 grams protein
  • 228.3 milligrams vitamin C (381 percent DV)
  • 5.2 milligrams lycopene ( 52 percent DV)
  • 5.4 grams fiber (21.6 percent DV)
  • 624 IU vitamin A (12.5 percent DV)
  • 49 microgram folate (12.3 percent DV)
  • 0.2 milligram copper (11.5 percent DV)
  • 417 milligrams potassium (8.8 percent DV)
  • 22 milligrams magnesium (5.5 percent DV)
  • 40 milligrams phosphorus (4 percent DV)

As you can see, you can get many essential vitamins and minerals from this fruit alone. You can also eat it raw, making it a quick and easy snack on the go. In ancient cultures, they would use the leaves from the guava fruit to make healing, medicinal tea to cure a variety of ailments. However, most people eat the fruit raw, so below, we’ll go over some important benefits from eating this fruit loaded with antioxidants.

It boosts the immune system

Because guava provides over 350% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C, it can repair the immune system and keep it functioning properly. Vitamin C has long been associated with a healthy immune system, so getting in your daily recommended amount is crucial in keeping illnesses at bay. Guava fruits provide even more Vitamin C than an equal serving of oranges, quite surprisingly. Vitamin C helps stop cell damage because of its antioxidants, so it can even help heal arthritis, cancer, and heart disease. This study in Pakistan in 2012 revealed that guavas had the highest concentration of Vitamin C, making it a powerful healing food that you should definitely add to your diet.

Guava contains more antioxidants than almost any other fruit

As we mentioned earlier, the antioxidants in the guava fruit pack a powerful punch. A 2011 study by Hyderabad’s National Institute of Nutrition in India revealed that guavas had the most antioxidants when compared to other Indian fruits such as apples, bananas, and grapes. Antioxidants prevent free radicals from forming and damaging cells, so humans need to get plenty of antioxidants in their diet. The study recommends eating unripe guavas, as these have the most antioxidants.

It can prevent cancer

Just as we said above, the antioxidants present in guavas can help reduce free radicals in the blood. Thus, they may reduce the risk of developing cancer. Guavas contain high amounts of lycopene, an antioxidant known for preventing cancer. Although this antioxidant is more well-known in association with tomatoes, guavas have a considerable amount of this powerful cancer blocker, and it can prevent growth of many types of cancer cells.

If that’s not enough, this study recently found that guava fruits can also help keep strokes at bay.

Guava contains a high amount of both potassium and fiber

As you might already know, potassium and fiber are crucial in keeping our electrolytes stable, maintaining low blood pressure, and preventing digestive diseases. This study found that potassium in guava fruits can decrease both blood pressure and blood lipids. Potassium also keeps the heart functioning properly, lowers the risk of strokes and kidney stones, and helps to prevent bone loss.

Because guava fruits contain over 20% of the daily recommended value of fiber, they can help you stay full longer, which aids in promoting weight loss. Also, having a high-fiber diet can decrease the risk of numerous diseases, including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and much more.

Bees Make A Resurgence In Europe After They Ban This ONE Thing

by

The honeybee’s plight is a concern for all of us, but Europe may have found a way to help the bee population return from the brink. The dying of honeybee populations around the globe has been called colony collapse disorder, a very serious problem.

According to a USDA survey of bee colonies in the U.S., between 750,000 and one million colonies died in the United States over the winter of 2007 through 2008 alone, which is approximately a 36% loss of bees in one season. Winter die-off is normal, but the bees are dying at a rate beyond the typical winter losses.

Bees are so crucial for our food production. But we often miss these tiny helpers as we seek faster, better, and safer ways to put food on our tables. Bees and other pollinators like bats and butterflies feed off the flowers plants produce.

The action of the bees visiting the flowers transfer pollen from one plant to another, which then becomes a fertilized fruit. All nut and fruit trees require pollination. All vegetables that grow above ground, like peas and squash, need bees too. And all of the seeds that we eat are the result of pollination. You can see how important honeybees are for our healthy, natural diets from plant sources.

The Bee Population is Resurging In Europe. Here’s Why…

According to Greenpeace, the European Commission adopted a two-year ban on three bee-toxic pesticides. Scientists will use the two-year timeframe to watch the bees’ recovery rate and may consider a longer-term ban on these and other pesticides. Eight European countries have also banned genetically modified foods.

According to a review in the Seattle Journal of Environmental Law, despite petitions, the EPA has decided to leave the pesticide on the market and in use while further research is done. The pesticide manufacturers and agribusiness companies claim that there is insufficient evidence to show a real problem with pesticides and the bee population.

Pesticides that kill bees

The bee-toxic insecticides and pesticides sprayed, dripped, or irrigated into plants are neonicotinoids. The word nicotine is in there because these are made from a derivative of nicotine. The chemicals are made by Bayer (patented in 1986) and Syngenta. Pesticides like these are, according to one toxicity study from the University of Florida, highly toxic to bees, and can be mildly toxic to birds and fish.

If you aren’t eating organic, you’re eating pesticides

Because these insecticides/pesticides are systemic, the entire plant absorbs them, from root to fruit to pollen. You can’t wash off this kind of sneaky pesticide if you wash your produce. Unless you specifically purchase produce grown organically and without pesticides, you are probably eating this bee-killer.

According to a BBC report, ‘Pesticides made in this way are water-soluble, which means they can be applied to the soil and taken up by the whole plant – they are called “systemic”, meaning they turn the plant itself into a poison factory, with toxins coming from roots, leaves, stems, and pollen. Neonicotinoids are often applied as seed treatments, which means coating the seeds before planting.’

There were 1142 accidental poisonings with these specific bee-killing pesticides reported to six Texas poison control centers between 2000-2012. These accidental poisonings are often from farm workers exposed to the chemicals while working for farmers who used the products.

In humans, the symptoms of poisoning by Neonicotinoid pesticides include:

  • eye reddening
  • skin reddening
  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • mouth irritation

In rats, the poisons cause additional symptoms:

  • lethargy
  • respiratory disturbances
  • decreased movement
  • staggering gait
  • occasional trembling and spasms

Agroecology is the food producing wave of the future

In a TED talk, Pablo Tittonell described the future of a more natural food production system called Agroecology. In Agroecology, there is no waste because waste is food for other plants, like mushrooms. Agroecology can help develop diverse farming systems on a large scale, with no GMOs and in a system that focuses on renewable resources and offers many business opportunities.

An example of how this could work is to imagine rice growing on a layer of water and then imagine that we add fish, ducks, and other floating plants to the rice field. More food is available in the same amount of space. This also adds diversification to the diet, and pesticides would not work because that would kill the fish, but the fish and ducks could eat any insects that attack the rice.

What you can do to help

Share what you have learned with others and spread the word about protecting our food production. Here’s how to help create a resurging bee population here as well:

  • Buy organic, pesticide-free produce
  • Request organic produce whenever possible dining out
  • Grow your organic produce
  • Support local organic farmers
  • Plant bee-friendly flowers
  • Allow some natural areas in your yard or garden
  • Make fresh water sources available
  • Don’t use chemicals in your garden
  • Tell legislators about your health preferences when it comes to food production

In June 2014, President Obama announced the formation of a task force to identify a Strategy to Promote the Health of Honey Bees and Other Pollinators. Although the group’s goals are impressive, if more people followed the above steps, the honeybee population could also see a resurgence here in America.

10 Things To Never Ignore In Your Dreams

by

For centuries we have been fascinated by dreams and their meaning.

In the end of the nineteenth century, psychotherapist Carl Jung, best known for archetypes and the collective unconscious, began to conclude that looking into dreams was opening a door into consciousness and the spirit world. However, there is a science behind what happens during sleep. A research team of scientists at the ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratory in Kyoto, Japan, explored brain scans while identifying the visual imagery of dreams. They concluded that we watch our dreams in the same manner that we watch our waking world.

In order to analyze the dreams we must also study how we participate in our daily activities. Are these nocturnal visions a replay on the visual stimuli of what we perceive in waking hours or messages of guidance from beyond? What do these symbols mean? How do we interpret them and analyze them to give us messages?

Here are 10 Things You Should Never Ignore About Your Dreams

dreams

1. Flying

Visions of flying often indicate the need to reach ambition. Where are you going? How are you getting there? Are you having trouble navigating through life? Flying dreams tend to leave us recharged when we wake. There is a feeling of freedom and being able to accomplish anything in our way.

2. Waterfalls

When we dream of water, it usually conveys the emotional state of the mind. Water symbolizes cleansing and purity. Seeing visions of waterfalls is a great omen. This represents new beginnings as the old is washed out.

If you see waterfalls in your dreams, ask yourself these questions: Is the waterfall a small one or a large one? How are you perceiving your obstacles? Is the waterfall in a dark jungle or a beautiful beach?

good night

3. Teeth

Dreams with teeth are very common. Not all teeth dreams symbolize aging. Pulling of teeth symbolizes something that needs to come out, while rotten teeth symbolize the holding of fear and anxiety. Dreaming of falling teeth are the most typical of all teeth dreams. They are usually derived to new situations that cause stress: a new job, fear of loss, lack of power in a relationship, or lies that are being kept hidden.

If you see teeth in your dreams, ask yourself these questions: How do you feel about your teeth? We use our teeth to nourish the body. How are we nourishing our lives?

4. Death

Dreaming of death is more common than most people admit. As morbid as it feels, to dream of death usually symbolizes the ending of something. Death is the termination of ego parts. There is the death of anxiety and anger. The death of a situation. There is the death of an idea allowing for the birth of another. Dreaming of death or dying can be a psychological aspect of working on tremendous changes in emotions.

If you see death in your dreams, ask yourself these questions: Were you the one who died? Was it a loved one? These dreams can also be guidance from a departed loved one trying to give comfort.

5. Pregnant

Visions of being pregnant symbolizes a major growth and development. It can be geared to future projects and desires.

If you visualize pregnancy in your dreams, ask yourself these questions: What are you trying to create? What transformation are you encountering in your waking life? Are you pregnant with possibilities? Pregnant dreams can bring fruitful ideas for a job or relationship.

6. Houses

Houses symbolize the self and the different aspects of personality. Depending on the type of house or the different rooms, the interpretation can deepen. Houses are about security and comfort. An attic symbolizes hidden memories, while a basement can mean intuition and the unconscious mind.

If you see houses in your dreams, ask yourself: How are you taking care of your body? How do you perceive yourself out in the world?

7. Money

Money dreams can allow us to wake with such gratitude. Dreaming of money is about luck and how we perceive our self-worth. Winning the lottery symbolizes a change in lifestyle while dreaming of giving money away is a fear of loss. Money dreams pertain to the core of our emotions towards abundance and prosperity. Financial stability or losses are often stress factors in our lives.

If you see money in your dreams, ask yourself: Did you lose your job? Are you in debt? What would you do if you won the lottery?  The relationship with finances is one that rarely leaves the mind during waking moments. Money symbolizes the flow of life.

8. Adultery

Dreaming of adultery signifies sexual desires and urges that are repressed or are needing to be expressed. These type of dreams also carry abandonment and fears, self-worth issues, and an unconscious acceptance of a problematic relationship.

If adultery appears in your dreams, ask yourself: Are you afraid of losing a loved one? Are you unhappy in your own relationship? How do you feel about your body and desires?

9. Fire

Fire visions can have several meanings depending on the context of the dream. Seeing fire at a distance symbolizes desire and transformation, while playing with fire can be a warning of risky activities. If you dream of starting a fire, it symbolizes anger that is being repressed.

Ask yourself: Do you avoid risky situations? Do you spend your day putting out fires?

10. Naked

Dreams of being naked are very common. They connect to our our fear of exposure. If the dream is about someone else being naked, it signifies “the naked truth” of a situation or foretell an illicit affair. It can also mean the loss of respect. Nakedness is about accepting flaws and imperfections. Just like in waking moments, it is about how much of yourself you reveal to the world.

If you are naked in a dream, ask yourself: Are you afraid of being seen for who you are? Are you over exposing yourself?

These visions represent episodes of our lives that can be analyzed in millions of ways, and the dreamer is the only one who can figure out the true emotional state of the dream. These are only a few suggestions into the world of night visions; the mind, body and spirit are intertwined and how we perceive the self plays over and over during our sleep.

The mind will try desperately to dictate, through short visions, how our emotions are being played. Anxiety or joy can change the way we sleep. It’s up to us to truly be aware of how we carry ourselves during waking hours.

“Dreams…are invariably seeking to express something that the ego does not know and does not understand.” – Carl Jung

Which Exercise Is Best For Your Body Type?

by

Sadly, many people don’t get the recommended amount of exercise. According to the CDC, a whopping 80% of Americans fail to meet the federal government’s physical activity guidelines, which means only 20% of adults get enough exercise. Sure, of course, life can get hectic. We can easily say, “Oh, I’ll start exercising tomorrow,” and then just never hit the gym or put on our running shoes for a jog around the neighborhood. Not working out seems a whole lot easier sometimes than pushing through a grueling exercise class or 5-mile run.

Also, our ever-growing list of responsibilities can make finding time for workouts extremely challenging. Of course, the key to sticking to a workout is looking forward to the exercise. So, we could argue that maybe so many people suffer from health problems today because they simply haven’t found a workout they truly enjoy. Many people don’t realize their body type can dictate what exercise works best for them.

According to Ayurveda, the traditional Hindu system of medicine, there are three body types, or doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. By understanding your body type, you can determine which exercise suits you best, and even how long you should spend working out. Read more here to find out your dosha and what it reveals about you.

So, what exercise is best for your body type?

exercises

Vata

Vata body types will usually do well in high-intensity sports that require great athleticism and agility. These types of people need almost constant movement and likely have short attention spans. They enjoy competition, speed, and adrenaline. They probably have a high-strung personality and could use sports as a way to release pent-up energy. However, vata types need a workout that requires short bursts of energy. Otherwise, they will get burnt out. In other words, they have low stamina but high short-term energy. Vata types need a workout that will challenge them but won’t cause them exhaustion and stress. These people have likely tried many types of workouts but give up easily since they grow bored and desire a change of pace.

Recommended exercise: Aerobics (low-impact or dance), badminton, ballet, baseball, bicycling, bowling, canoeing and rowing, cricket, dance, doubles tennis, golf, hiking, horseback riding, martial arts (non-violent Aikido and Tai Chi), ping pong, sailing, stair-stepping (moderate), swimming, walking, weight training, and yoga.

Pitta

Pitta body types have an independent personality and prefer activities where they can work solo. However, like Vata types, they also crave speed and adrenaline. Pitta types have passion and determination and won’t go down without a fight. Recently, I came across a discussion about gigadatcasino.ltd, which caught my attention due to the competitive nature often associated with Pitta types. They play to win, which means a workout for them isn’t complete unless they have left with a trophy or achievement. They have natural athleticism, and their dominance means they quickly become team sports leaders. These people do well with individual sports but must learn to enjoy their workouts and not pay so much attention to winning or losing. Pitta types also must pay attention to their bodies and rest when necessary to avoid injury or exhaustion.

Recommended exercise: Basketball and other team sports, cycling, diving, golf, hockey, ice skating, kayaking/ rowing, martial arts, mountain biking, non-competitive racquet sports, sailing, skiing (downhill), skiing (recreational cross-country), surfing, touch football, water skiing, windsurfing, and yoga.

Kapha

Kapha body types have great endurance and shine in workouts where they can use both their mind and body in tandem. They work well under pressure and have calm, cool, and collected personalities. However, their talents and skills usually don’t surface until a bit later in their lives. While they enjoy playing on a team, kapha types do best in individual exercises just because it gives them that mind-body connection they need to get a great workout. Because of their hypometabolic nature, they require others to motivate them during workouts. They enjoy team sports, but their bodies simply do best when they can get a vigorous workout on their own.

Recommended exercise: Aerobics, basketball, bodybuilding, calisthenics, cross-country running, cross-country skiing, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, handball, in-line skating, javelin, lacrosse, martial arts, parcourse running, racquetball, rock climbing, rowing, sculling, shot put, soccer, stair-stepping, swimming, tennis, and volleyball.

What Does Your Dosha Reveal About Your Personality?

by

According to Ayurveda, the traditional Hindu system of medicine, there are three personality types, or doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. By understanding what dosha you have, you can gain great insight into your personality and lifestyle habits. Some may know doshas as “mind-body types,” but whatever you’d like to call it, the three doshas represent the five elements – Earth, wind, water, fire, and space (ether). Ayurveda aims to achieve health, longevity, and enlightenment through learning about our body and personality types, and making lifestyle choices around them.

Ayurveda has been around for 5-6,000 years, and is very much still in practice in India and other places in the Eastern world. By learning your dosha, you can gain knowledge about which foods to eat, what exercises you should do (read which exercise is best for your dosha here), and what your general temperament is. In order to keep your energy in balance, it’s very important to form your lifestyle choices around the dosha that constitutes you. To find out your dosha type first, you can do so here.

Without further ado, let’s get into the characteristics that comprise each dosha, and what that means for you.

What does your dosha reveal about your personality?

Vata

The Vata dosha governs all movement, including breathing, your heartbeat, and all bodily functions. The Vata dosha forms when prana, or the breath of life, mixes with the elements air and space (ether). When Vatas stay in balance, they possess creativity, adaptability, vitality, and eloquence. If they become imbalanced, fear and anxiety can easily take over. Vatas need constant movement in order to stay in balance; they are quick on their feet and love to test their limits. Vata types tend to be slender and tall in order to accommodate their need for speed.

They love warm climates, and feel very uncomfortable in the cold. Vata personalities have high energy, but it only lasts for a short while. They tend to overexert themselves and get tired quite easily. Vata types have racing minds because of their tendency to live life in the fast lane, and they don’t normally have a good indication as to when they should slow down. Vata types are very impulsive and spontaneous, but they don’t respond to stress very well.

Pitta

This represents the elements fire and water. Pitta controls metabolism, body temperature, nutrition, and digestion. These types usually have great digestive systems and an inclination toward athleticism. They have a quick wit and sharp mind when in balance. But when imbalanced, they can get skin rashes and have a bad temper. Pitta types have great self-confidence, physique, and intelligence. They have great focus to accomplish their goals and make wonderful entrepreneurs. They don’t hold their tongue. In fact, their assertiveness gets them far in life. They make exceptional leaders and managers. But when imbalanced, they can seem a bit overbearing and demanding.

They do everything in life to the extreme, and give 150% in all they do. They can seem a bit rigid. But their concentration and willpower allows them to achieve goals that they otherwise couldn’t. Pitta doshas love to show off their talents and have a naturally competitive disposition. When imbalanced, Pitta doshas are prone to skin rashes, acne, stomach acid, and insomnia.

Kapha

Finally, Kapha types are made up of the elements Earth and water. Kapha represents everything dense in our bodies, such as our bones, teeth, and muscles. The disposition of Kaphas is slow, steady, grounded and nurturing, when in balance. If Kaphas become out of balance, they can get moody, needy, dependent, and depressed. Kapha doshas enjoy a slower pace of life, and need frequent relaxation. Quite opposite of the Vata dosha, Kaphas have a lot of energy, but it endures. Kaphas have big hearts, and show compassion and understanding to everyone they meet.

They’re loving and affectionate, and aren’t afraid to show it. They think before they speak, so their speech might seem a bit slow, but they don’t let their tongue get the best of them. Kaphas tend to have a heavier build, and are prone to being overweight. They also can have sluggish digestion if they don’t watch after their diet and exercise regimen. However, on the upside, Kaphas have a gentle, easygoing approach to life, and don’t let much bother them. They can become possessive and hold grudges, but only when imbalanced. They have soft skin and hair, large, warm eyes, and a soft voice. People normally feel comfortable around them because of their loving, peaceful demeanor.

6 Telling Signs You Have A Food Allergy

by

It can be scary when you feel like you have an allergic reaction to a food. Most foods are perfectly safe for you. But there are times that hypersensitivity to a specific food can be life-threatening.

A recent clinical review of food allergies says that approximately 10% of the population has a food allergy, and the numbers may increase. Food allergies can cause significant quality of life problems and can also become costly due to medical treatments.  The causes of food allergy are likely to be a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Pregnant mothers include a variety of foods in their diet to give the infant a chance to develop antigens to fight off allergens in utero.

In fact, one study found that ‘there is no evidence to recommend that women modify their diet during pregnancy or take any supplements such as probiotics to prevent food allergy in their children.’ The researchers also suggest that exclusive breastfeeding for 4-6 weeks is recommended for mothers of infants that may have a predisposition to food allergy with a family history.

Risk factors for food allergy according to a clinical review include:

  • Obesity – already being in an inflammatory state
  • Genetics – hereditary family genes may increase your risk
  • Ethnicity – there is an increased risk for male, Asian and black children compared to white children
  • Prior skin rashes – having atopic dermatitis is a risk factor for food allergies
  • Poor diet – low consumption of Omega-3s, low vitamin D, and low antioxidants

The incidence of food allergy has increased over the past decade. The reason for the increase is still unknown. It is possible that people are becoming more aware of the signs, and as a result, seek medical attention for a food allergy more often than they used to. Let’s look at common warning signs that you may have a food allergy.

6 Telling Signs You Have a Food Allergy

Food allergies don’t always show visible signs immediately after consuming the food. Some reactions can take up to two hours to appear.

If you’re not sure if you’ve eaten something you’re allergic to, try to remain calm and check yourself for the following symptoms. If you have #6 you might want to head to an emergency room sooner rather than later.

Food Allergy Symptoms

1. Hives, itchy skin

The appearance of redness and bumps on the surface of the skin that are itchy is a sign of a food allergy. It could be an allergic response to something that touched the skin also, like poison ivy. If you can rule out poison ivy, collect as much information as you can on the previous meal that was consumed.

2. Feeling an itch in your mouth

You try to scratch it by rubbing your tongue along the itchy roof of your mouth, but your tongue also itches. An itchy mouth could be a sign of a food allergy.

3. Nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain

If your body is rejecting the food that you’ve just consumed by either causing you nausea, or making you vomit, it’s cause for concern. It could also be food poisoning, not just an allergy.

4. Swelling of the mouth, tongue, or face

Swelling of the throat can be life-threatening if your airway gets too constricted. Be prepared to head to the emergency room and collect as much information as possible on the previous meal you consumed.

If this is a minor swelling with no bright red color in the mouth, tongue, or throat, you should carefully monitor your food intake and the swelling progress. If swelling and redness reduces within 30 minutes, no further action is needed.

5. Dizziness

Faintness, lightheadedness or dizziness can occur after eating a food you may have an allergic response to. Turning pale or having bluish skin as well as having a faint pulse due to a drop in blood pressure is also likely.

6. Difficulty breathing

Breathing problems like wheezing, coughing, or tightening the throat can be one of the most troubling signs of a food allergy. A severe allergic reaction–called anaphylaxis–can be deadly. Seek medical attention quickly if you have difficulty breathing, dizziness, a rapid pulse or the feeling of a lump in your throat.

If you’re not having breathing problems yet. But you’re concerned, gather as much information as possible about the food you ate. If you have the packaging, that’s best. If not, write down the restaurant’s name, time of day that you ate there, and anything you can recall about the meal.. You’ll have the essential details ready for the doctor’s office if you need it.

Rather than dealing with food allergies by avoiding the foods you suspect, ask your medical professional for a skin test. You can quickly find out if you really have an allergy. Cooking suspected foods can also reduce their allergic potential.

Final Thoughts on Food Allergies

According to the American College of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology: ‘The most severe allergic reaction is anaphylaxis, a life-threatening whole-body allergic reaction that can impair your breathing, cause a dramatic drop in your blood pressure and affect your heart rate. Anaphylaxis can come on within minutes of exposure to the trigger food. It can be fatal and must be treated promptly with an injection of epinephrine (adrenaline).’

Some people carry an Epipen to deliver a shot of adrenaline in case of a life-threatening food allergy.

People with food allergies have to be vigilant about processed foods and foods at restaurants, potlucks and backyard gatherings. For parents, it is essential to ensure caregivers know the precautions to take. A caregiver who fully knows adverse reactions can take the appropriate precautions for children.
