We all enjoy eating all kinds of food, but the truth is that not every type of food is beneficial to your body. You will notice that some foods are poisonous to you, and if you don’t pay attention, they can actively endanger your health. The problem is that it’s challenging to figure out what is to the benefit of your body and what is harmful. All of our bodies are different and tolerate different things better or worse than someone else. Certain foods can make us sick slowly, which may ultimately lead to autoimmune symptoms and gut issues.
Inflammation
Some foods are known to cause inflammation, an automatic response that our body has to harmful stimuli. What’s important to note here is that common foods can bring in severe inflammation, ranging from fried foods (fried in seed oils like canola or soybean, etc.), sweetened drinks (with artificial flavors and sweeteners), chips (also fried in seed oils), crackers (usually containing wheat and a ton of other ingredients), cookies (usually made from wheat and high sugar), refined grains (usually contain bleach with synthetic nutrients added back in), and processed meat. People who have intolerances and allergies can have inflammation due to whole foods like fruits and vegetables as well, which signifies something else is going on in the body.
It’s hard to identify any allergies or intolerances until you get a blood test.. Muscle testing can also be beneficial in identifying sensitivities as well. You may notice that whenever you eat certain foods, you may feel bloated, gassy or get a headache, among other symptoms.. These are signs that your body is reacting to what you are eating. Pay attention and make a journal of what foods may bother you.
Diabetes
Many people like eating junk food and comfort food like chips, pizza, and anything with refined carbohydrates. These can lead to diabetes; unfortunately, many people have a primary form of diabetes without knowing. Of course, those are only a few foods that lead to diabetes. Fried foods, sugary drinks/foods, and anything with lots of trans/saturated fats can eventually lead to diabetes, especially if you eat them in large quantities.
Lung problems
Another thing to remember is that some foods can also affect your lung function. .Studies show a link between processed food and decreased lung function. These types of foods will increase inflammation and stress to the lungs. Believe it or not coffee is linked to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. Of course if you have an allergy to coffee then the opposite effect could occur. The lungs love high fiber foods like quinoa, broccoli, raspberries, peas, lentils and black beans.
Acid reflux
There are many causes of acid reflux, however certain foods can be a main trigger. The symptoms of acid reflux include nausea, a burning sensation in the throat, pain in the lower esophagus, and regurgitation of food. Typical foods linked to reflux include chocolate, fried foods, carbonated beverages, caffeine and alcohol. It’s important to note that ANY food you have an intolerance to can also cause reflux.
Allergies
There are different levels of allergies- from sensitivities to intolerances to full blown allergies. Even within blood allergies, there are different classes of allergies ranging from mild to life threatening. People with life threatening allergies should be carrying an epipen prescribed by a medical doctor. Unfortunately, life threatening allergies are usually discovered by accident. If you find yourself sensitive to a lot of foods or if you feel like you suffer from different autoimmune symptoms like exhaustion, headaches, migraines, skin issues, gut issues, etc, it may be worth getting a blood allergy test to see what is going on with the foods you are eating. The top 8 allergies include wheat/gluten, soy, nuts, eggs, dairy and fish/shellfish.
