Asthma and COVID-19
A publication in Nature last week reviewing the data from 17 million patients showed that asthma was not associated with increased severity or risk of death from COVID-19.

However, markedly increased mortality with COVID-19 was found in those individuals with increasing BMI - people who are overweight and obese.

So continue to take you asthma medications and control your weight with healthy diet and exercise. Exercise outdoors, early in the morning or later at night, avoiding the heat and the crowds.

Is it a food allergy or food sensitivity?

Food allergy reactions can be life-threatening. Symptoms can occur very quickly when coming in contact with just a tiny amount of the food. Many food allergies are first diagnosed in young children, though they may also appear in older children and adults.

Eight foods are responsible for the majority of allergic reactions in the world: cow’s milk, eggs, fish, peanut, shellfish, sesame, tree nuts, and wheat.
In Israel:
- Milk,
- Eggs,
- Sesame and
- Peanuts are the most common food allergies.

Many people who think they are allergic to a food have a sensitivity, but not food allergy

Food sensitivity is a reaction that occurs when something in a food irritates a person’s digestive system or happens when a person is unable to properly digest the food.
What tests and treatments you will need depends on your symptoms.

Call 03-6122322 to schedule a consultation or email [email protected] if you are concerned about problems with food.
