However, there are many foods we eat and smells we breathe that our experience tells us is okay, but our body shows signs of discomfort when certain chemicals enter our body. You may not think you’re allergic to a particular type of food, but just because you don’t break out in hives does not mean your body is thanking you for what may be the cause of your chronic pain, itchy skin, upset stomach, or your cranky mood.

After a couple of days, your body begins to feel better and mental clarity returns stronger than it once was.
