Plant Families

If you are allergic to one food, you are also likely to be allergic to other groups within the same family.

The common foods mentioned below are grouped in families and it is likely that if you are allergic to one food in the group you are also allergic to others in the same group. It is therefore recommended that if you demonstrated allergy to one food in the group, you reduce your intake of all the others in the same group.

SO YOU WANT TO STOP SMOKING ONCE AND FOR ALL?

There is no single magic approach to stopping smoking. It’s a learned behaviour (we’re not born smokers). There is a major psychological element as well as chemical dependency. No single formula, system or product will do the job. All they do is make the manufacturers richer. That’s why so many attempts fail.

Whilst there is no quick, easy way to quit smoking - if you want to find out how you can stop once and for all - call Edith Maskell now on FREEPHONE 0800 093 1178 for a FREE initial consultation.
