Everybody needs a specific diet
Everyone is special and our bodies react differently to the different ingredients found in foods. About 20% of the population has problems of intolerance to one or more foods normally eaten.
And it is that uniqueness itself which creates food intolerances, confirming that our health and well-being are undoubtedly "regulated" by the kind of diet we feed our body, very unique in its functions.
Besides gluten intolerance, the most widespread intolerances are of milk and eggs.
These two foods play fundamental roles in the food pyramid for both children and adults, due to their high nutritional values, and as such can be particularly "insidious".That's why, in the case of intolerance to milk and eggs, it is necessary to replace them with foods that can compensate their fundamental supply for the growth and protection of human body.

Your heart feels the effects of cholesterol, as does the rest of your body
