Stop me if you’ve heard this before: “You have to eat five to seven small meals per day every two hours to burn body fat.”

Examining The 10 Most Common Food Sensitivites That People Are Afflicted With

Food sensitivities have become more prevalent in the last decade due to the extensive genetic modification of foods as well as the increased use of pesticides, herbicides and insecticides. Foods no longer have the same nutritional content that they did once upon a time, due to the depletion of nutrients from our soil. These factors all contribute to our bodies’ inability to properly digest foods, thus causing inflammation in the gut. This inflammation leads to food proteins entering the blood stream and our immune system building antibodies to the proteins.
