What Causes Food and Chemical Sensitivities?
Your body is a complex system that can easily be thrown out of balance by environmental influences like foods and chemicals. We are all under a constant barrage of potentially harmful chemicals and foods, and your body’s ability to compensate and recover from this onslaught will determine whether you experience sensitivity symptoms. For instance, most all of us are exposed to exhaust fumes, pesticides, paint or carpet vapors and other environmental chemicals, and many of us eat foods like sugar and grains despite being sensitive to them. As I said above, the symptoms may be subtle and you may not make the connection that your foggy head and fatigue is related to the bread you eat or the fumes you inhale while sitting in traffic unless you are aware that these substances might be playing a role. What to do About It Once you understand and suspect that chemicals and foods you’re exposed to everyday may be decreasing your quality of life, it’s time to do something about it.
