Allergy is a disease of our time, characterized by increased sensitivity to certain substances, products and materials. The most common types of allergies are: pollen, dust, food, medicine, animal hair, insect bites.
To alleviate the condition of the body, with the exacerbation of allergies, there are two ways: by taking medication or following a hypoallergenic diet.

Advice from professional nutritionists
Make sure you eat soup for lunch every day for housing and communal services to work properly. The base should always be based only on vegetable broth, as broth can cause allergic reactions.
You can use cottage cheese, yogurt, fruits and vegetables as a snack, you can drink tea with lemon.
If you continue to eat such foods for at least a week, you will immediately feel an additional increase in strength. First, a healthy and balanced diet will help the body cleanse itself of toxins and toxins. Second, by eliminating possible allergens from your diet as much as possible, it will be easier to monitor the dynamics of allergies and draw conclusions for yourself.
Adults can follow this diet for no more than three weeks, and children for a maximum of 9 days. If at the end of the diet you notice an improvement in your health, you should gradually add foods that were previously banned. This should be done at three-day intervals for each new product, as an allergic reaction may not be immediately apparent. This diet is also called non-specific.
If there is no improvement, moderately allergenic and then low allergenic foods should be gradually eliminated. You can limit your diet only under the supervision of a specialist. To more accurately diagnose allergies, doctors are advised to keep a diary of your diet and record how your body reacts to each product.
It is necessary to eat taking into account all the needs of the body for vitamins and minerals. You can not overeat, because the extra food particles will not be digested, but will poison the body.
Protein-rich foods should be combined with vegetables, in which case the fiber in them will prevent allergens from entering the bloodstream.
This type of diet is suitable for absolutely all adults, children and even nursing mothers.
