Food Intolerance, Inflammation and Covid-19

We now know that possibly up to 70% of the population will ultimately be hit with the Covid-19 virus.  Most people, thankfully will have no symptoms or mild symptoms.  More may experience notable symptoms such as high fever, cough and breathing issues, but may remain at home and tough it out with rest, fluids and good nutrition.  Unfortunately, those who have underlying health conditions, who may be elderly and/or obese have a much higher risk of developing serious symptoms, requiring hospitalization and specialized medical interventions. 

A recent article in the New York Times highlights the link between poor diet and many of the common medical conditions of our time. Conditions such as being overweight, high blood pressure and diabetes are all associated with a low-grade inflammation that saturates the whole body.

In the article Dr. Mozaffarian explains how diet is driving this epidemic of low-grade inflammation.  “Covid 19 kills by causing an overwhelming inflammatory response that disables the body’s ability to fight off pathogens.”  Those who have weakened immune systems or have existing chronic low-grade inflammation are at the greatest risk of the serious complications of Covid-19.

For many years we have been highlighting the link between diet and chronic, low-grade inflammation. We have seen how a change of diet can reduce this inflammation. This in turn helps us to fight off viruses and other illnesses.

Food Intolerance Testing NOW available as an online service! 
All our tests are CE approved Laboratory tests,.  For a limited time we are offering to carry out a LOW GRADE INFLAMMATION TEST with your FOOD INTOLERANCE test Free of Charge.  This hs-CRP test detects inflammatory marker C-Reactive Protein which at higher than normal levels is associated with many chronic and metabolic diseases.  Food Intolerance is a contributor to keeping inflammation switched on.  When you know what foods to eliminate, the ones that are identified as true culprits, you can make significant changes to your health and resilience by eliminating these foods.

As we move through this pandemic, we have to look forward to getting back to work, meeting family and friends, and enjoying life without restrictions.  We cannot stay in lockdown forever!  Diet and nutrition will play the greatest role in building resilience, re-calibrating the immune system to work for us and not fight against us. 

Our 93 Food Test and 200 Food Test will include the hs-CRP Low Grade Inflammation Test for a limited time only.  See link below for ordering details and if you would like to speak to Irene about this test get in touch by 353861662562

Don't let food intolerances (sensitivities) make your life a misery! In many cases, conditions such as irritable bowel, asthma, eczema, psoriasis, arthritis, sinusitis and migraine are different manifestations of inflammation caused by food intolerance. Conditions relating to food sensitivity begin when the digestive system is no longer able to process particular foods as they pass down through the digestive tract. The end result is a build up of toxic matter which leads to poor health and low grade inflammation.

Our CE approved Food Intolerance laboratory test takes the guesswork out of trying to pinpoint the culprits in your diet. Once foods are identified and removed from the diet significant improvements can be made.

You will have expert recommendations for dietary changes based on your test results which will keep your diet balanced during an elimination phase and help you replace culprit foods with healthy alternatives.

Food Intolerance Tests are now available online with testing kits sent directly to your home.

Our 93 food sensitivity test checks 93 of the most common foods known to cause intolerance. Each food is tested individually and given an exact IgG antibody score.
