Allergies
Tis the season for new growth. Which could stimulate allergies, swollen glands…--> discomfort in the head. If you suffer from any of these conditions take a look at what you are and aren't ingesting.
*If you're allergic to grass or ragweed : try avoiding melons, bananas, cucumbers, zucchini, peaches, celery, tomatoes, chamomile tea and sunflower seeds -- as they share the same proteins found in those pollens.
*Vitamin C and quercetin have anti-oxidants that act as anti-inflammatories : try eating any berry, red/green bell peppers, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, leeks and onions.
*Some proteins have anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids : wild salmon, sardines, enriched eggs and flaxseed.
*Pump up your pre and pro biotic count. Yogurt, cultured veggies, allium family (onions, leeks, garlic), apples...
*Hydrate with water and movement to keep things flushing around and outwards.
