How Food Allergy affect the Body

Food allergy is an immune system reaction to a food that the bodies wrongly consider is harmful.

Once the immune system chooses to treat a particular food this way, consuming that food can quick the enormous release of chemicals known as histamines. These chemicals, in turn, trigger allergic reactions that can affect the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, skin, and cardiovascular system.

Keep away from these foods altogether is the only sure way to prevent a reaction. Although someone can be allergic to just about any food, the following nourishment account for 90 % of all reactions: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts (including walnuts and cashews), fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat.
