[…] The level of indoor air pollution should be kept as low as possible. […] The authors of the guidelines have come to the conclusion that vaccinations do not increase the risk of allergy. […] In addition to these influencing factors, other means of protection are still being investigated.

[…] The same applies to other foods that have been found to have protective effects, such as those in the Mediterranean diet (plant-based foods, olive oil, a moderate amount of animal products), omega-3 fatty acids (sources include fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, or rapeseed and flaxseed oil) and the fatty acids in dairy fat. More research is required on these dietary substances before any specific recommendations can be made.
