preventing allergies

In addition to finding the reasons for the rise of allergies, the allergy research deals extensively with measures, allergies, asthma and a topic dermatitis prevention.

Unfortunately, there is currently no reliable tests, with the risk of allergies can be determined in the family. It is known that the predisposition to develop an a topic disease (asthma, eczema, hay fever, food allergies), is inherited. Therefore, we consider now the family history (history) to assess the risk in children. The highest risk of developing an allergy, the children whose parents both have the same a topic disease.


Tipp
Active and passive smoking during pregnancy, lactation, and of course even after the birth of one of the essential factors for allergy and asthma development. Therefore, cigarette smoke can be strictly avoided.
      Exclusive breastfeeding for four months and the slow and gradual introduction of complementary foods after the completion of the fourth month are the key aspects in relation to diet.
     A diet of the mother, will not require creation of certain allergens such as nuts, is not only during pregnancy and breast-feeding is recommended.
     Can not be exclusively breastfed, so stand as an alternative to industrially produced baby foods available. Children from families with allergies should be fed a Hydrolysatnahrung.
     At risk children should no pets are purchased for prevention. The keeping of cats seems to promote the risk of allergies, dog ownership is not likely to affect the risk of allergy.
     Regular ventilation prevents mold growth indoors, and thus prevents allergies. Also, exposure to indoor air pollutants such as formaldehyde should be kept as low as possible.
     Even children at increased risk should be vaccinated according to current immunization recommendations of the Standing Impfkomission (STIKO).

environmental influences

Whether it comes to disease outbreak depends on the conditions in which a child grows up. Both the early and intense to deal with potential allergens such as foods, animal dander, dust mites and pollen, play a significant role. In addition, environmental factors such as cigarette smoke and air pollutants in indoor and outdoor air for allergy development held responsible.

prevention measures

Since the genetic predisposition can not be influenced, for allergy prevention measures put in on the relatively easy-to-modifying factors. This is hardly a distinction between a child or a child without risk of increased risk of allergic disease.
