Avoid foods you are intolerant to
While not life-threatening, eating foods that you have an intolerance for can create stress on your body.
The more stress you are under, the harder your body has to work to keep allergies at bay.

Avoid unhealthy food choicesThese drain your system while offering no nutritional benefit whatsoever.
Substances such as sugar, substitute sugars, and products made with white flour contribute to allergy provoking inflammation and should be avoided as much as possible.
Ensure that a large percentage of the food entering your body is the kind that strengthens the body, not destroys it.

Get plenty of quercetin
Quercetin is an antioxidant believed to help minimize the body’s allergic response by preventing the release of histamines.
Tomatoes, apples, onions and buckwheat are great sources of Quercetin. If you don't feel you're getting enough through the foods you eat, consider taking a supplement.

Don’t forget to take your vitamin C
This is especially important when allergy season is in full swing.
Vitamin C decreases the amount of histamine in the blood, thereby reducing the severity of allergy symptoms.

Eat raw, local honey daily
This is quite literally a sweet way to fight seasonal allergies caused by pollen.
One tablespoon per day of local honey has been shown to desensitize your system to local pollen irritants, reducing symptoms while it does so.
Take note, processed honey and those imported from other countries are not the same as fresh, local honey.

Take a showerOne simple way to fight seasonal allergies is to take a shower when you enter your home.
Rinse off any unwanted allergens and throw your clothes in the wash. This will help reduce pollen and other allergens you bring into your home.
Consider showering right before bed to not only eliminate allergens, but to open your sinuses & relax your muscles so you get a good night’s sleep.
