TIP OF THE WEEK

Does springtime leave you coughing and sneezing? Ease the symptoms of seasonal allergies naturally by incorporating these foods into your diet:

Wasabi: That’s right, the spicy green stuff that usually comes with your sushi order can help to alleviate allergy symptoms. Thanks to its bold, spicy taste, eating wasabi can help to open your sinuses, making breathing during allergy season easier.

Fatty fish: Rich in Omega-3’s DHA and EPA, eating fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, and tuna can help reduce inflammation and prevent swelling, which can decrease the symptoms of spring allergy season.

Pineapple: Not only is it delicious, pineapple contains the enzyme extract bromelain, which can help to reduce seasonal allergy symptoms, such as itchy eyes and a runny nose.

Almonds: High in magnesium, which has shown to reduce allergic reactions and relax airways making it easier to breathe.

Turmeric: A powerful anti-inflammatory, adding turmeric to your diet can help to reduce swelling and inflammation caused by seasonal allergies. Add to your morning smoothie or enjoy as a latte.

Allergy season can be dreadful, but you may be able to reduce pollen allergy symptoms naturally with these foods.
