How to Overcome Your Spring Allergies?

Did you know the springtime allergies are due to a weakness in your immune system? Allergic reactions begin in your immune system. When a harmless substance such as dust, mold, or pollen is encountered by a person who is allergic to that substance, the immune system may overreact by producing antibodies that attack the allergen. That can cause wheezing, itching, runny nose, watery or itchy eyes, and other symptoms. The purpose of the immune system is to defend itself and keep microorganisms, such as certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi, out of the body, and to destroy any infectious microorganisms that do invade the body. But when the immune system becomes weak, it is not able to do its job effectively. One way to strengthen your immune system is to eat healthy foods. Your body requires certain nutrients in order to be able to fight off allergies. Eating a diet that is balanced and provides enough of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein will help give those nutrients. Vitamin C, which is prevalent in foods like citrus fruits, kiwis, and strawberries, is known to be very helpful for enhancing one’s immune system. Incorporating foods rich in vitamin C and other nutrients that strengthen the immune system into your diet might be beneficial as well. Garlic and ginger both contain characteristics that make them effective anti-inflammatory agents, which may help to mitigate the symptoms of allergies. Another way to strengthen your immune system is to exercise regularly. Participating in regular physical activity can help to both strengthen the immune system and decrease inflammation, both of which can make allergy symptoms more severe. Some examples of moderate exercise are brisk walking, cycling, and swimming. In addition to lowering inflammation, regular exercise may also assist to improve circulation, which in turn can make it easier for the body to eliminate allergens and other irritants. However, when pollen counts are high, you should avoid exercising outdoors as much as possible since doing so might make allergy symptoms worse. Also get a good amount of rest. Your immune system might become compromised when you don’t get enough sleep, which can make you more sensitive to allergies. Aim to get between seven and nine hours of sleep every night in order to help maintain your immune system healthy.
