Fight Allergies - Rethink Your Diet

Nasal symptoms from seasonal allergies are mainly due to an inflammation of your nasal membranes. Following an anti-inflammatory diet of foods rich in antioxidants (brightly colored fruits and vegetables) and omega-3s (fish such as salmon and herring, ground flaxseeds, walnuts) can go a long way in stamping out symptoms.

Indeed, several studies show that kids with diets high in certain fruits, vegetables, and fish are less likely to experience allergy symptoms such as wheezing. Doctors also advise cutting back on milk and milk products, which contain proteins that may increase mucus production -- the last thing a runny nose needs. If runny noses do persist, try natural allergy relief for children.
