Hay fever hacks

Hay fever Havoc

Is hay fever giving you the summer blues? The pollen count seems high right now and some of the team at Love Struck HQ are suffering with seasonal sniffles, sneezing, itchy eyes and drowsiness.

The Natural Remedy

While anti-histamine sprays and tablets can really help, we thought we’d take a look at what natural foods might help to ease or worsen the symptoms. So if hay fever is spoiling your summer fun here are some foods you could try:

Honey For Hay Fever

Some believe eating local honey can help ease the itchy eyes and sniffles. Apparently the pollen in the honey helps your body desensitise from pollens in the air.

Onion Hacks

They’re full of quercetin, a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory.

Oily fish and Seeds

Fish such as tuna, salmon and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, as are seeds like chia and flax. Omega-3 acids reduce inflammation, which is why they are such an important addition to your diet.

Vitamin C Hacks

A natural antihistamine and immune system booster – found in broccoli, kiwi, blueberries, tomatoes and apples.

Turmeric For Hay Fever

An anti-inflammatory as well as a natural suppressor of histamine, this super food is a great one to have in your healthy store cupboard.

Garlic Solutions

Garlic acts as a natural decongestant and allergy fighter – best eaten raw!!

Pineapple For Irritation

Contains bromelain which can reduce irritation.

Water As Well

Drinks lots to help the histamines flush out of the body.

Try Avoiding To Reduce Hay Fever

There are also some foods that are best to avoid as they can trigger histamine release. They include alcohol, caffeine, and dairy products, chocolate (sorry about that), peanuts, sugar and wheat.

Smoothie Saviour For Hay Fever Hacks

And of course you can also treat yourself to a healthy Love Smoothie such as Spinach to Win It, Berry Go Round and Big-5 (packed with Vitamin C) or turmeric rich 24-Carrot Gold!
