Why do so many Northern Americans have so many allergies?

285 views

I live in Eastern Europe and not one singular person I know has allergies.

Americans seems to have a sensibility to everything, gluten, peanuts, all types of foods and substances.

Why is that?

In North America, the average diet is high in junk food and low in fruits and veggies, also not many people workout compared to places like Europe where their diet has more healthy foods and the population is more active. In our stomach there is a group of “good” germs that live there, help us digest our food, help get rid of bad germs, and keep our stomach healthy. If we eat a lot of bad food the good germs can’t keep up and our bodies start to develop these food allergies. Some food allergies are passed down from parent to child but it is not that common.
