Tips for Sufferers of Seasonal Allergies
Put down the chocolate shake and snack on some nuts
Try adding more anti-inflammatory foods, such as ground flaxseeds. Walnuts along with fish oil supplements are tremendous sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid which can stomp out inflammation in your nasal passages. Try to cut back on eating things like red meat, fried or processed foods, chocolate and a lot of dairy products that cause mucus. You may also want to try a number of homeopathic remedies that are available at most health food stores.
Don’t bring your pollen with you
One way to prevent bringing pollen into your home is to change your clothes almost immediately upon entering the house. Try keeping shoes at the door or in the garage. We may not see it, but pollen is easily trapped in clothing and in your hair. So, if possible try to change clothes and wash up more often. You should also try avoiding hanging laundry outdoors; this will prevent it from collecting airborne pollen.
