A new study shows that giving eggs and peanuts to babies can reduce the allergy risk. It seems that it timing is really important. If you give these products to our child when he/she is still a baby, there could be a lot of benefits regarding the allergy risk. There are a lot of kids who are allergic to common food, such as eggs. Researchers wanted to find what are the effects if kids will get them from an early age.
They used data from 140 studied that talked about the risk of food allergies for children. They discovered that kids who eat peanuts between the ages of four and eleven months had a 70 percent reduced peanut allergy risk. Moreover, a similar thing happened to those who ate eggs from an early age. It is like our body gets used to some food products when we are younger and protect us from allergy risk.
Even though doctors were advising the parents to delay giving their kids food like egg, peanut or fish, it seems that this new study has a different opinion. If parents introduce egg and peanuts at an early age, they will be able to prevent allergies. Researchers also studied milk, fish, and almonds, but there was not enough evidence that introducing these foods can reduce the allergy risk.
Of course, those who have kids that have already a food allergy should pay more attention. The best thing to do is to go to your doctor before giving your child eggs or peanuts. If he is already developed an allergy, giving him these products will make things worse. Doctors are advising parents to give their children small pieces of eggs or peanuts and see how they are doing after. If they do not develop any side effects, your child should not have any problem in the future regarding the matter.
This study is the largest one on the effect that some foods can have on babies. It seems that introducing eggs and peanuts into your kid’s diet, at an early age, can really reduce the allergy risk. When your child develops a food allergy, his/her life would be more difficult. It is hard to find food who does not involve eggs, for example. If there is one chance to prevent the allergy, you should try it when your kid is still at an early age.
