5 Action Steps for Preventing Allergies Naturally
1. Carry a Water Bottle
Drink lots of water. The goal is consume half your body weight in fluids. Your sinus cavitities and respiratory system are extremely sensitive to dehydration. It helps to stay hydrated to avoid flare ups.
2. Take Probiotics
Probiotics are live bacteria that aid in keeping your digestive system healthy. It is recommended to take a daily capsule dose of probiotics to boost the function of your digestive and immune system. Probiotics provide an ideal environment for your body to fight against foreign allergens in the body.
3. Get More Sleep
Our bodies are recovering when we sleep. If we are ill or fighting allergies, it is recommended to get an extra 30 minutes of sleep a night to aid in the healing and recovery process. When we sleep, our body is given the opportunity to recover to function properly. If we are functioning properly, our bodies can react accordingly when challenged by allergens and not overreact.
4. Eat Local Raw Honey
Consuming local honey from your area is a natural way to desensitize yourself to the allergens. There is local Spring honey in most markets. Take a look at your local farmer’s markets and ask. Eating 1-2 tsp per day will help and as a bonus, honey is a superfood.
