After prolonged fasting, the body is in a fragile state. Gradually reintroducing food helps the gut, pancreas, and electrolyte balance recover safely. A rushed return to normal eating can undo benefits and trigger life-threatening complications.

Food allergies involve the immune system; intolerances involve digestion. To manage allergies: avoid triggers (like dairy, wheat, nuts, shellfish), cut inflammatory foods (sugar, gluten, additives), eat immune-supporting, non-allergenic foods (greens, probiotics, seeds), try an elimination diet to identify culprits, and support digestion with enzymes and probiotics. Comfort Keto meals align with these principles.

Food Allergies Series "1": Why Didn’t Your Grandparents Have Them?
Did your grandparents have food allergies? Probably not—because food was once fresh, local, and chemical-free.

Today, food allergies affect millions, especially children, with emergency visits rising. Industrial food practices, not present in past generations, play a major role.

🥑🥩 "Essential" Fatty Acids Explained (Simply): Why We Need Them & Where They Come From
Omega-3 and omega-6 are essential fatty acids your body can't make, so you must get them from food. Omega-6 (LA) aids clotting and immunity, while omega-3 (ALA) supports brain and heart health—but converts poorly to EPA/DHA, which are mainly in fish. Too much omega-6, especially from seed oils, can fuel chronic inflammation. Balance is key—aim for more omega-3s, fewer processed oils, and know that even carnivore diets can meet essential fat needs.
