During the spring season, pollen levels increase which cause some people to have more histamine released in the body. Increased histamine causes the typical hayfever symptoms. There are foods that naturally contain more histamine and are best avoided during this period.
These include..
- certain fruits eg. bananas, pears
- smoked foods eg. smoked salmon, hams
- aged foods eg. cheese
- fresh fish
With food avoidance being helpful, it is also important to maintain gut health with probiotics as the gut plays an important role with the immune system.
Here is a list of supplements that help reduce your typical hayfever symptoms:
- Vitamin C 2000mg/day
- Raw local honey
- Hesperidin 2000mg/day
- Nettle tea
- Zinc 30mg/day
- Quercetin.
- Omega 3 fatty acids
