What you eat could impact seasonal allergies. Here is what to put on your plate in order to limit, as much as possible, the disturbing symptoms. A brief overview.
Seasonal allergies are often debilitating. Runny nose, congestion: the daily life of those who suffer from it can quickly turn into a real ordeal. But according to some experts, this discomfort could disappear if you carefully monitor your diet. According to nutritionist Jenna Volpe, whose comments were relayed by the New York Postcertain foods and herbs could help relieve many seasonal allergies naturally without adverse side effects.
It is particularly advisable to eat vegetables that contain vitamin C, such as Brussels sprouts. “Vitamin C is a water-soluble micronutrient found in many vegetables. It can play several important roles in the body, such as fighting allergies, as it helps regulate the body’s natural inflammatory responses”said Katie E. Golden, MD, medical writer at GoodRx.

Prefer nettle leaves
Nettle leaves would also be preferred because they would have a slight antihistamine effect. Several clinical studies have highlighted their benefits, especially for people with allergic rhinitis. However, be careful not to consume it if you are pregnant because nettle can modify the menstrual cycle and contribute to miscarriage.
“Using herbs is an age-old approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. However, herbs can trigger side effects and can interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, you must take them carefully, under the supervision of a doctor”, said an expert quoted by the New York Post.
In parallel, you can also consume fruits with vitamin C (oranges, clementines, grapefruits), known to support the immune system. Just like honey, some of whose effects could be beneficial against seasonal allergy symptoms. “Raw honey contains high levels of propolis, a constituent that has many health-promoting properties, including mast cell inhibition (the type of immune cells involved in allergic reactions),” explained Jenna Volpe.
Finally, fruits and vegetables rich in quercetin (a powerful antioxidant) such as red onions, asparagus, raw capers and kale could also help those whose daily life is becoming more and more complicated thanks to their nutrients.
