When Healthy Foods Turn Allergic?

Chemical preservatives or your body’s inflamed status might be the problem

@Seema

See the above platter: an egg, an avocado, some almonds, and biscuits. They are delicious, but for people with allergies, these can be problematic foods.

I am a biology professional, and I know the allergens in them:
— Egg white proteins
— Avocado lectins (a type of protein)
— Almond LTP (lipid transfer protein)
— Wheat gluten proteins

So, all these seemingly healthy foods can be triggers.

I am very allergy-prone, but guess what? I am not sensitive to any of these in their natural form.

Instead, my body reacts strongly to the sulfites in processed nuts or the preservatives in biscuits.

If my body is already inflamed for other reasons, then even avocado can feel irritating.

After eating eggs, sometimes my skin shows reactions.

Here’s why: if the body becomes acidic and biochemical balances are disturbed, then even nutritious foods may be seen as threats.

That’s why it is so important to keep the body’s pH and inner environment stable.
