Scientists are confident that good nutrition in childhood can benefit the health status of the child in a more adult.
The sooner children began to eat potentially allergenic foods, the less the risk of food sensitization, writes the Chronicle.Info with reference to the Telegraph.
Scientists at McMaster University in Canada found that children who are under the age of one year eat dairy products, eggs and peanuts were less likely to develop allergic reactions to these products. The results presented at an international medical conference 2016 ATS.
In their study, researchers used data on more than a thousand children. Parents of most of them begin to feed your child dairy products before he was a year old. 48 per cent of children received milk up to the age of six months, 48 per cent, from 6 to 12 months, four per cent after 12 months. Eggs appeared in the diet of the child with the primarily six months of age.
It turned out that the earlier the children started to eat potentially allergenic foods, the less the risk of food sensitization. Although sensitization is not identical to allergic disease, reduction of hypersensitivity to certain foods is the key to reduce the risk of Allergy development. While early food eggs significantly reduced the likelihood of sensitization to any of the three considered food. It is interesting that exclusively breastfeeding a baby under 6 months increases the risk of hypersensitivity to milk.
According to the researchers, their work contributes to changing the existing view that allergenic products should appear in the diet of the child as late as possible. Many nutritionists have recommended to make the milk and eggs in food until six months of age
