I am especially there around this time of year in fact. No, not because I’m always sick, like one might assume. Oh, no. I’m sneezing because I have intense winter allergies. It’s not fun, but luckily i’ve learned some tips to help others like me make it through the season comfortably.
take your allergy pills - this is a no brainer.
try eating a teaspoon of raw honey everyday. Now it can’t be regular honey - it must be the raw version.
Try supplementing with resveratrol. It’s a compound mainly found in the skin of grapes, and its awesome for helping to alleviate allergies internally.
If you suffer from skin allergies (like me), make sure you invest in a good, soothing cream that will ease dry flaky skin. If you can find one that contains colloidal oatmeal, bonus.
Stay away from your trigger foods. This is different for everyone, so its really does boil down to trial and error. If you know you’re sensitive to dairy, stay away from the stuff! Even healthy foods can be trigger foods. If bananas make your stomach feel weird, its best to avoid them.
Stay away from refined sugar and grains. Both are highly inflammatory, and will aggravate allergies.
Try incorporating turmeric into your diet. It’s a magical spice that is very anti-inflammatory, and it has helped me a ton. I like to spice my quinoa with it. There are also turmeric teas out there.
Be sure to bundle up. I get wind burn on my face if i’m out in the cold for too long, so I invested in a face scarf. Yes I look scary, but it prevents those red angry welts from developing on my face, so darn it, it’s worth it.
And there you go, folks. Hope this helped!
