Are you dreading another bout of seasonal allergy symptoms? Right around mid-August is the beginning of more pollen and spores in the air, bringing on all those sneezes and runny noses. Talk about summer fun! Here are two foods that help to ease annoying allergies…
Nutrient-rich watercress helps swollen bronchial passages and is one of nature’s best bacteria fighters. It’s a strong diuretic, so eat small portions at a time.
Fish gives you omega-3 fatty acids that help control inflammation and may help your puffy nostrils and clogged-up lower respiratory system. Are you a fish hater? Try flavorless fish-oil supplements. We each take a 1,000-milligram capsule three times a day (one with each meal), but check with your doctor, especially if you are on blood thinners or another medication.
Oh, and by the way, you might want to have a virgin version of that pretty summer drink with the umbrella. Alcohol can dilate blood vessels and release histamines that make your symptoms worse. Save your bottoms up for after allergy season!
