…eat orange foods, like carrots and sweet potatoes. They’re full of carotenoids – powerful antioxidants or plant pigments the body turns into vitamin A. Carotenoids can also stop the release of histamine, which is what causes sneezing, itching and red, watery eyes. Studies found eating a cup a day of carotenoid-rich foods can cut allergy flare-ups in half. Because the carotenoids make our immune cells more stable. Aside from carrots and sweet potatoes, you can also get carotenoids from butternut squash and spinach, even though it’s green.

Do you have allergies? They could be the reason you’re gaining weight! If you’re taking an antihistamine to stop itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, you’re blocking the neurotransmitter histamine AND a receptor that suppresses your appetite. So try eliminating allergy symptoms with a nasal allergy spray. Nasal meds work faster than pills and shut down allergy symptoms for 80% of people within hours. Plus, they don’t enter your bloodstream, so they don’t cause side effects like some pills.

Allergy sufferers……Put these things on your shopping list: onions, apples, blueberries, red grapes and green tea. According to the journal Clinical & Experimental Allergy, those foods are high in an antioxidant called “quercetin.” And research shows it prevents immune cells from releasing histamine – which is a protein that gives you symptoms like itchy, watery eyes and sneezing.

Don’t ever take these pills together:

• First: Calcium supplements and antibiotics. Because the calcium stops your body from absorbing the antibiotic. You can still take calcium, just do it at least 3 hours before or after your antibiotic.

• Also, don’t combine antihistamines and antidepressants. It can cause extreme drowsiness. So if you have allergies and you’re on antidepressants, ask your doctor what pills can clear your sinuses and relieve watery eyes without the sedating effects.

• Lastly, ladies, if you’re on the Pill, steer clear of St. John’s Wort. It can make oral contraceptives less effective… Because it breaks down estrogen, increasing the odds you’ll get pregnant even if you’re on the Pill.

If allergies are giving you itchy, watery eyes, and a runny nose – start eating Greek yogurt! Studies show that eating 12 ounces of Greek yogurt on days when your allergies flare up lowers your body’s levels of antibodies…which trigger the histamines responsible for allergy symptoms.

It’s not because some dogs are hypo-allergenic. In fact, all the breeds thought to be safer picks, like Labradoodles, Airedales and Waterdogs – actually have HIGHER levels of the proteins that cause allergies than other dogs! That’s according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.
So what does make a difference? Well, the things that cause allergic reactions vary from dog to dog. Meaning, the compounds in saliva, dander and urine can be different from one Labradoodle to another. That means you may be fine with one dog and a sneezing mess with another. However, you can get shots from an allergist to help you live with any pet you choose.
