"Allergy sufferer? Increase your vitamin intake! Vitamin A and C, as well as zinc, have all been found to alleviate allergy symptoms, prevent sinus infections, as well as heal the gastrointestinal tract, which helps to normalize the body’s response to allergen exposure. Fish oil also helps, especially with seasonal asthma."
- Dr. Andra Campitelli

It also depletes nutrients that regulate blood sugar, mood and appetite, creating a vicious cycle as we eat more to get that dopamine “feel good” boost. Limiting sugar consumption is the best option"
