Allergy, Cold, and flu season is coming. Are you prepared?
As soon as the allergy season (pollen season) comes, I see my patients coming with itchy skin, runny nose, etc, says Dr Miriam at Nutriessential.
At the peak of spring allergy season, people usually think of doing something that could help them. I have seen people following some easy steps to keep pollens at bay. Some wear masks when outdoors, many people stop drying clothes outdoors, and others do hair washing before going to bed. Opening windows early in the morning for 10-5 minutes, using HEPA filters, and a lot more are some other options people know. They are indeed right! However, there is a lot more I want to share that can help you.
Every year the amount of allergen in air is rising. Hence more people are getting affected with seasonal allergies, especially in the springtime. Those who have never experienced any symptoms in decades are also experiencing symptoms. So many people are vulnerable to getting allergy symptoms, but it is more in people who have a history of allergic diseases like asthma, eczema, heredity factor, etc. However, anyone can experience allergy symptoms when exposed to common allergens like mold, pet dander and pollen.
There is one thing that has changed after the pandemic. People get worried whether it is COVID or allergy. I like to tell you that whenever you have a viral infection, you are likely to have a cough. With allergies, you have itchiness and a runny nose. This is the best way you can differentiate.
If you are the one who is experiencing allergy symptoms, some tips can help you!
It is better to find the solution, rather than suffer the symptoms.
Always follow a balanced diet to provide your body with enough nutrients. Make sure to take vitamins and minerals enough. A daily multivitamin can be of great help.
You should always focus on empowering your immunity. Consume more citrus fruits to get enough vitamin C, berries are a great source of anti-oxidants, take probiotic-rich food like yoghurt to improve your gut health, get enough omega-3 eat fish twice a week, eat quercitin-rich food they are the natural anti-histamines.
You can use nasal sprays, these are present over-the-counter and you feel relieved for 6-8 hours.
If you are unsure of whether you can stick to this dietary routine, supplements are another solution!
Seasonal shifts are really discomforting. Many people do not know but there are seasonal support supplements available that can be of great help to you in allergy season. These natural supplements can provide you relief from discomforting symptoms of allergy.

Coming to probiotics, their role in allergy season is surprising. I have read many studies giving very interesting findings on it, says Dr Aditi, another expert at Nutriessential.
First of all, you should know that if your gut is healthy, you feel good because gut and brain health are connected. Now the next thing I'm telling you is something different you may not have heard before.
Probiotic supplements relieve allergic rhinitis symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes that occur year-round or seasonally. In allergic skin conditions also, these are helpful.
These are live bacteria and provide benefits when used in adequate amounts. Therefore it is better to choose high-quality probiotic supplements with sufficient CFUs. During allergy season, make sure to choose probiotic supplements. While choosing, make sure to check for strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium.
If you are exposed to pollen, dust, and pet dander in this allergy season, you start experiencing a runny nose, skin rashes, itching, and sneezing making you feel uncomfortable the whole day long and creating a huge disturbance in your daily routine. To solve your issues, I have provided you with the best options that can enhance your wellness in allergy season.
I want to highlight that it takes some time for solutions to work. You cannot expect immediate relief. Be prepared before the season approaches. Whole year-round work on your immunity.
Still, if you find, you are not relieved from these symptoms after using over-the-counter nasal sprays, a healthy lifestyle, diet and supplements, I recommend you consult your healthcare provider.
