Anyone who believes that we as parents can not control whether our children to develop allergies, you are wrong. The only question is: how do we counteract possible allergies? Many of my friends think hygiene is particularly important in the context. In extreme cases, some mothers even wipe all the floors daily. The pacifiers of infants is continually boiled, clothing and bedding is constantly washed. The older children are encouraged to wash their hands frequently, do not take anything into their mouths to eat with a fork, even chips and eat food in any case falling down too.
I have to thank God from the beginning, seen everything a bit easier, I'm with the wisdom of life "dirt cleans the stomach." Grew up. My mother regularly told the story of a woman from her home village, which was given after a series of daughters finally the so ardently desired son. On these they concentrated their whole attention was constantly worried about his health and always cleaned everything with disinfectant. Then the boy fell ill with a viral infection and died. Ever since my mother was convinced that dirt strengthens the immune system. From today's perspective, I am my mother's very grateful for this healthy attitude, because their view has proved correct and it has been found even that contact with dirt helps to prevent potential allergies.
In fact, most experts now accept that due to the increase in allergies is an increasing cleanliness and hygiene.
A study conducted in Leipzig, for example, has shown that increased hay fever, skin allergies and asthma, while the environment clean in the new federal states from year to year. Scientists believe that the immune system of children is simply unchallenged. The lack of dirt, parasites and other external stimuli, so that throws the immune system to combat otherwise unnoticed stimuli (eg, pollen, animal hair).
Actually quite handy: you can now on his children again with the best of my knowledge and belief in the dirt digging and let yourself win a lot of free time by eliminating excessive purges.
Well, how about a knight's meal times at home.
