Autumn allergy affects 30% of the world’s population every year. The symptoms can hardly be called pleasant: drowsiness attacks, the eyes are watery, the nose is stuffy and constant sneezing, that cannot stop or relieve. Thus, you need to prepare in advance for autumn season. The main task is to strengthen immunity and remove allergens from the diet. Use the following guidelines to help reduce allergy symptoms.
The basis of the diet is vegetable soups.
Vegetables should be the basis of your diet during an exacerbation of autumn allergies. First, they are hypoallergenic foods. Second, vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that boost immunity and help the body fight allergies and allergy symptoms.
Include plenty of greens in your diet.
In the autumn, greens must be present in the diet of an allergic person. Greens are a storehouse of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that can help reduce allergy symptoms. With the help of greens, a favorable background created so that allergies do not arise at all. Greens are especially useful for respiratory allergies, as they are rich in vitamins A, K, E, C.
Drink tea.
Hot tea is another effective remedy against allergies. Its mechanism of action is like vegetable soup: the steam opens the nasal passages and reduces allergy symptoms. If you add a few slices of lemon to your tea, it also effectively blocks the release of histamine. In addition, tea contains polyphenols that strengthen the immune system and increase the body’s defenses.
Eat more fruits.
Avoid chocolate, which is an allergenic food, in favor of fruits, but choose the right fruit for your diet. It is very individual. Therefore, try to eat a variety of fruits, but leave in the diet only those that do not provoke symptoms.
Include salmon in your diet.
Salmon is a healthy product. This is due the fact that this fish contains a large amount of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. They strengthen the immune system, normalize the work of the heart and blood vessels, activate mental activity, and help the body fight allergies: increase the body’s defenses and resist inflammation.
To preserve valuable properties, cook salmon the right way: boil, bake, or grill. You will get the most delicious and healthy dinner that will make you forget about unpleasant allergy symptoms.
Add nuts to your diet.
Nuts are another valuable food that contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids. They can replace salmon if you are a vegan, or be a great snack during the day. Nuts boost immunity and fight internal inflammation in the body.
It is important to remember that nuts are high in calories – a small handful a day is enough to replenish the body’s reserves of nutrients.
Do not eat fruits that can cause oral allergy syndrome.
Many people with allergies have Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS). It manifested by irritation of the mucous membrane, which provokes severe itching and discomfort. Symptoms appear when a person eats proteins, including proteins contained in some fruits. Such proteins found in apples, peaches, pears, and melons. Eat these fruits with caution if you are allergic.
