Nutrition and Allergies Treatment in Fairfax, VA

Nutrition and Allergies Specialist

Allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic disease in the United States. Around 26 million American adults have food allergies. In addition, an allergic condition is a severe issue for 5.6 million children in the country. So it is no wonder why so many are struggling.

The constant sneezing, congestion, runny nose, and other reactions can create some very uncomfortable side effects. In addition, food intolerance can be equally draining. Luckily, a diet packed with anti-inflammatory foods can help alleviate these symptoms. The Best Chiropractor in Northern Virginia can help you with this.

When you pair that with chiropractic care, you can give your body an even healthier boost. If you want to learn more about nutrition, food intolerance, allergies, and chiropractic care, you are in for a treat. The guideline below will show you exactly what you’ve been missing.

Food Intolerance

For healthy weight management, you need to supply the body with a constant amount of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins. But unfortunately, food intolerance can get in the way. When a person has trouble digesting distinct foods, it means that they develop an intolerance.

This is entirely different from an allergy. Food intolerance is affecting about 15% to 20% of the population. It mainly occurs in those with an IBS syndrome (irritable bowel syndrome) or digestive system disorder. 

The intolerance involves the entire digestive system, while a food allergy affects the immune system. The allergy appears when the immune system forces the body to react to a particular food. 

A person with food intolerance can experience:

  • Runny nose
  • Pain in the stomach
  • Bloating
  • Too much gas
  • Diarrhea 
  • Migraine
  • Headaches

The more food you eat that the body can’t handle, the more severe the symptoms become. To experience improved metabolic function and increased energy, you need to avoid the foods that trigger this reaction.

How Can Chiropractic Help?

You’ve probably heard that chiropractic adjustments can alleviate plenty of conditions. But did you know they could also be helpful with managing allergies?

Dr. Gregory Lee DC works to facilitate the patient’s communication pathways between the brain and spinal cord. The treatment is an excellent option for increased energy, better posture, and pain relief. But, it could also aid allergy sufferers in regulating their reaction to allergens.

Under chiropractic care, you can expect to boost your body’s immune response, hormonal, and respiratory system. In addition, since chiropractic treatment can coordinate the physical reactions of the human body, it can also ease the pressure affecting the system.

Although chiropractic care can’t be used as a primary treatment for allergies, it can be therapeutic. Because it can provide a psychophysiological impact on immunity, it can be helpful with allergic diseases.

To find out which food is causing problems for your organs, it is a good idea to do an ALCAT test. The test has been shown to improve digestive, respiratory, skin, and many other conditions. To find out more about this simple blood test.
