The latest research in human physiology shows that there is no one single effective diet that works for everyone. It turns out that each of us reacts differently to the same foods. What is good for some people may be harmful to others. Therefore, the diet should be as individualized as possible and selected for a specific person. This is what the dietician of the future deals with.
Even so-called he althy foods such as beets, apples, tomatoes or garlic can causefood hypersensitivityin some people. Food and food additives have been shown to be responsible for many ailments and he alth problems. It is difficult to diagnose on your own, because how do you associate the fact that after eating your favorite herring with an onion, you will have a headache the next day? Such reactions as:headaches ,migraine , muscle and joint pain, arthritis, heartburn, reflux, insomnia and chronic fatigue, and even more serious diseases such as chronic sinusitis - can be a symptom of food hypersensitivity, also known as delayed food allergy.
Food allergic reaction - allergy screening
As with any allergy, the body reacts to the allergenic factor by activating the immune system (immune response). Is it possible to find out what foods and foods do not serve us? This is tested using the patented MRT (Mediator Release Test) blood test. Independent scientific studies around the world have confirmed that MRT is currently the most accurate and comprehensive test for hypersensitivity to food and food additives. Based on the test results, an individual diet program is developed. This program is not about counting calories or starving yourself, and it's gradually becoming a lifelong diet. Such a diet has a long-term healing effect. It can be used by people who want to lose weight, but also those who suffer from serious medical conditions and, despite expensive treatment, their ailments do not disappear. It often happens that the combination of treatment with an individual diet program leads to recovery. Only recently, thanks to tests detecting delayed food allergy, it turned out why people who struggle with overweight for many years userestrictive diets, do not lose weight. Thanks to research, it is now known that many of them have a delayed food allergy. As a result of a delayed allergic reaction to some food ingredient (s), the body retains water, causing it to swell. The body also loses the ability to properly manage fat - hence the weight gain.
ImportantAllergologists have also noticed a remarkable regularity that people suffering from food allergies very often depend on the foods to which they are allergic. They fall into an addiction to eating and excessive appetite. According to allergists, the relationship between addiction and allergy is extremely close. For example, if you are allergic to coffee, symptoms do not appear immediately after drinking it, but even after a few hours, in the form of a headache. During this time, however, as a rule, a person drinks another cup without realizing that it is the coffee that causes the pain.
