Possibilities of allergy prevention in the prenatal and postnatal periods in 2013

MUDr.Eva Daňková
Immunia, Praha

Allergic diseases are manifested in an increasingly greater percentage of the population. The key to prevention is very probably to induce

immunological tolerance to allergens. Recommended measures are still based in part on evidence-based medicine. At present, it is advisable

high-quality and varied diet without eliminating allergenic foods in healthy children. That diet is also necessary to follow during

pregnancy and lactation. Exclusive breastfeeding for at least four months. Introduce solid foods, including allergenic foods until the end

of the sixth month of age. Another need is to follow a healthy lifestyle and to avoid exposure to near-roadway traffic-related pollution.

Keywords: primary allergy prevention, secondary allergy prevention, allergenic foods, environment
