Allergies

Symptoms of seasonal allergies include itchy, runny nose, watery or puffy eyes, coughing, throat irritation, sinus congestion, headache, fatigue, wheezing, sneezing, and itchy skin.

When your body is dehydrated and attempting to regulate its water levels more closely, it starts to produce higher levels of histamines, which can trigger and often exaggerate allergic reactions. As such, healthy hydration has the power to drastically reduce allergy symptoms.

Peppers and Onions

Adding these veggies to your diet will up your intake of quercetin — a natural plant chemical that can help reduce histamine reactions.

Berries

Berries are high in antioxidants, which can assist with DAO synthesis — an enzyme that keeps the histamine in our bodies at a tolerable level. The quercetin in berries can also reduce symptoms like runny nose, watery eyes, hives, and swelling.

Pineapples

This tropical fruit contains an enzyme called bromelain, which is great for reducing the irritation caused by allergic diseases like asthma.

Garlic

Garlic extract has been shown to prevent allergies and decrease allergic reactions by blocking the production of chemicals that produce common symptoms.

Never let the things you cannot do prevent you from doing the things you can.
