Podcast Episode 70: Nutrition is Key to Allergies
Allergy Myth:
- Allergies, especially protein allergies, are often overestimated as the cause of skin and coat issues.
- True protein allergies are rare; many problems stem from nutritional deficiencies.
Nutritional Deficiencies:
- Lack of quality proteins and fats can lead to dry, flaky skin and inflammation, often mistaken for allergies.
- Opt for foods with specific proteins like chicken, beef, or fish; avoid fillers and by-products.
- Include omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the diet.
Hydration:
- Adequate water intake is essential for maintaining healthy skin and coat. Dehydration can cause dry skin and a dull coat.
