Hygiene, pollution and food increase the number of allergic children

Our grandparents said that "spring alters blood", but according to experts in addition to the most florid season of the year, this is also due to the intervention of other factors that have been created specifically by humans.

And, from the Spanish Society of Clinical Immunology, Allergy and Pediatric Asthma (SEICAP) it has been concluded that hygiene, pollution and food increase the number of allergic children.

On the one hand, it has been found that aexcess hygiene In the environment of the child, his immune system does not activate the defense mechanism against external pathogens. That is, as your agency never had to face harmful agents, those threats have not been able to be counteracted.

So, in a way, the best way for our children to be less likely to develop an allergy is to keep them exposed to these germs and organisms that can cause them.

How? Very easy: going outdoors and that it becomes stained, wounds and becomes ill (it is not necessary to misunderstand it, since they do not say that we have to expose them at all times. Always in a controlled and common sense way).

In addition to this excess of hygiene, different changes in the habits of our daily life such as food or excess pollution in the environment also favor the appearance of different allergies. That is, the children's immune system (even from the womb) becomes more labile.

Our society is gradually advancing, but we must be careful with this progress since, as we have seen, the hygiene, pollution and food increase the number of allergic children. You have to be clean, yes, but in moderation.
