Allergies no longer a childhood disease
Added 02.07.2008
Only a few decades ago, allergies were considered to be a childhood disease. That has all changed because today, more and more adults are developing some form of allergy. Don't be fooled into thinking that unless you have a rash, teary eyes and sneezing, you don't have an allergy. Surprisingly, fatigue, back pain and recurring colds are common symptoms indicating a recently acquired allergy. So, what can you do to prevent an allergy or treat an existing one? It's simple and can be achieved with one natural compound: grape seed extract.
Why is grape seed good for you?
Grape seeds contain more than 300 different natural substances. Some of the best known are the oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). OPCs are natural compounds that have many exciting health promoting properties.Resveratrol, found in grape seed extract and other fruits and plants, is one of the most important OPCs as it has a wide variety of health benefits including: reducing the influence of asthma provocative factors; normalising immune response to allergens in hay fever; reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease; has highly potent cancer preventative agents; and has several different anti-inflammatory properties.
Why do we develop allergies?
An allergy releases chemical reactions in the body called inflammation, which is a condition that can evolve into chronic inflammation - when our body's own anti-inflammatory defence mechanisms have given up. People develop allergies and inflammation because of increasing global pollution and a lack of detoxifying nutrients (antioxidants) and this puts a tremendous strain on their body's defence system.References:

Dr. Bo Nielsen's comments:
Unfortunately, allergies are no longer "just" a childhood disease. We can now develop allergies at any time in our life. Most researchers agree that the main cause for this change in disease pattern is due to increasing pollution. Unless you are able to do something about global pollution, the best investement in your health is to eat healthy and take relevant supplements to prevent or reduce the damage pollutants are causing in our body. Ask a Health Professional about can benefit you the most.
