It’s Okay

Last month, I saw a documentary on television focusing on the incidence of allergies on kids nowadays. The docu highlighted that it appears that kids from ‘cleaner’ places tend to have more allergies compared to those in less advanced places. They attributed the difference to how the natural body defenses work. The developed countries have great technologies to diagnose allergies or other conditions including diagnosing ADHD. But I think they could be right that we should leave the natural body defenses to do some workout. So while it may be a bit backward, letting kids to ‘go out’ and play sometimes is probably okay.
