Sneezing, stuffy nose, fatigue, itching, bloating, coughing… These are all symptoms that many of us experience, but are not always sure what exactly causes them. <\/span><\/p>\n

Is it an allergy? Or a cold? Or some kind of food intolerance? Recognizing the difference is key to responding correctly and regenerating the body faster. <\/span><\/p>\n

ALLERGY:<\/b><\/p>\n

What is it? An excessive reaction of the immune system to otherwise harmless substances (e.g., pollen, dust, food). <\/span><\/p>\n

Symptoms:<\/b><\/p>\n

-sneezing, itchy nose<\/span><\/p>\n

-redness of the eyes, tearing<\/span><\/p>\n

-itchy skin, rash<\/span><\/p>\n

-difficulty breathing (in case of a stronger reaction)<\/span><\/p>\n

When does it occur?<\/b><\/p>\n

-seasonal (e.g., pollen), throughout the year (mites, house dust)<\/span><\/p>\n

How to recognize?<\/b><\/p>\n

-symptoms come on suddenly<\/span><\/p>\n

-no fever<\/span><\/p>\n

-can last for days or weeks, without change<\/span><\/p>\n

COLD:<\/b><\/p>\n

What is it? A viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. <\/span><\/p>\n

Symptoms:<\/b><\/p>\n

-stuffy nose, runny nose<\/span><\/p>\n

-slightly elevated temperature<\/span><\/p>\n

-fatigue, weakness<\/span><\/p>\n

-cough, sore throat<\/span><\/p>\n

-symptoms develop gradually<\/span><\/p>\n

-can last 5\u20137 days<\/span><\/p>\n

-fever and body aches are common<\/span><\/p>\n

INTOLERANCE:<\/b><\/p>\n

What is it? An improper reaction of the body to certain ingredients from food, but without the participation of the immune system (unlike allergy). <\/span><\/p>\n

Symptoms:<\/b><\/p>\n

–<\/b>bloating, gas<\/span><\/p>\n

-cramps, diarrhea<\/span><\/p>\n

-headache, fatigue<\/span><\/p>\n

-skin reactions (less frequent)<\/span><\/p>\n

When does it occur?<\/b><\/p>\n

-after consuming certain foods (e.g., milk, gluten, additives)<\/span><\/p>\n

How to recognize?<\/b><\/p>\n

-symptoms are not immediate, they occur several hours after a meal<\/span><\/p>\n

-depend on the amount of food ingested<\/span><\/p>\n

-often go away when the problematic food is eliminated<\/span><\/p>\n

How can you help yourself?<\/b><\/p>\n

-Keep a symptom diary (when, where, after what they occur)<\/span><\/p>\n

-Strengthen immunity naturally (diet, sleep, physical activity)<\/span><\/p>\n

-Consider introducing green spelt juice into your daily routine \u2013 because what we eat can reduce or increase symptoms<\/span><\/p>\n

-Consult a specialist if you suspect an allergy or intolerance<\/span><\/p>\n

Health begins with understanding what the body is saying. Proper recognition is the first step towards relief! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
