If you have a food allergy, the best thing to do is to avoid eating that food. But it can be extremely challenging since it may be hidden in the food you eat. You can often find the more common allergies in plain sight on the packaging or label. Peanut or nut allergies warnings are most often seen as well as dairy warnings. If you have a serious food allergy, your doctor may suggest that you carry an Epi-Pen. An Epi-Pen will counter act the reaction and hopefully bring you back to normal while you seek medical help. Again if you have a life threatening food allergy it may be best to wear a tag or a medical alert bracelet.

Fact – You may not know this but the food industry takes allergies extremely seriously.

Some people have self diagnosed themselves with food allergies but may mistake a food intolerance with allergies. Food intolerance is defined as being natural reactions that do not involve the body to active its immune system. Let’s look at a few food intolerances:

a) Metabolic reaction – This involves the body’s inability to digest foods like fats or lactose. Often this can produce gas, diarrhea, and other stomach related issues. b) Physical reaction- The body doesn’t activate its immune system but there is a physical response. Some people will become red in the face or may get a form of hives c) Sometimes we think too much. Thinking too much can lead to the body to start secreting hormones and other stimulants. One of the strong feelings you maybe get from this is the need to urinate. d) Some foods will cause our moods to change. Drinking coffee or other drinks can certainly affect how we feel. Some people may in fact have a similar reaction from just eating too much fruits

While it’s important to understand your body’s reaction, you should always consult with your doctor.

Wearing a medical alert bracelet can save lives, especially if you take prescription medications, have a chronic illness, or are a caregiver for someone who needs help on a daily basis. Paramedics are trained to look for a medical identification bracelet on their patients, so wearing one can really make a difference. Those who wear a Medical ID bracelet often receive expedited treatment and are less likely to receive a misdiagnosis. Engraving your Medical ID bracelet is better than buying one that has been engraved with a single word, as the added personalization can increase the quality of your care. Be sure to include any prescription medications, chronic illnesses, and life-threatening allergies. For example, those who are severely allergic to peanuts or take insulin injections for diabetes should definitely wear a bracelet. Furthermore, the condition written on the bracelet is often the cause of the emergency. When it isn’t, emergency medical professionals can manage that condition while treating any additional problems. If possible, add an emergency contact number to your bracelet so someone else can give an in-depth explanation of your medical history if you are unable to.

Caregivers should wear Medical ID bracelets, even if they don’t have any chronic medical conditions themselves. This is especially important if the care-recipient can’t seek help on his own. All caregiver’s bracelets should include the caregiver’s name, the care-recipient’s name, the caregiver’s relationship to the care-recipient, the care-recipient’s needs, and who to contact in the caregiver’s absence. For example, a bracelet could have, “I am a family caregiver. Jenny Friedman,” engraved on one side and “Grandfather has dementia. Will need help. Contact 0208-123-4567,” engraved on the other.

Medical bracelets come in different styles and sizes for both men and women. Stainless steel bangles are a chic option that can easily blend in with several other bracelets. However, a trained professional is likely to notice the medical symbol. Charm bracelets are also popular, as are unique bracelets that have colorful beaded bands instead of the typical silver or gold chain. Men can try Medical ID bracelets that have leather or rubber straps.

Wearing a medical alert bracelet can save your life. Or, it can save the life of someone you love and care for. Be prepared for an emergency and order yours today.
