With the onset of spring and warmer is correlated with seasonal allergies. Already, lots of my friends in South Texas are running through boxes of Kleenex. For the next five days I will present how different types of foods can ameliorate seasonal allergies.
Anti-Inflammatory Foods Can Help Reduce Allergy Symptoms
Allergic reactions trigger inflammation, which worsens symptoms like congestion and itchy eyes. Eating anti-inflammatory foods can help calm the body’s response.
- Turmeric – Contains curcumin, which reduces inflammation. Pair it with black pepper for better absorption.
- Ginger – Soothes irritated airways and helps with nasal congestion. Try fresh ginger tea or add it to smoothies.
- Leafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Swiss Chard) – High in antioxidants that lower inflammation and support immune function.
