Allergy season has kicked in and those who suffer from it
find the tips below helpful in managing it this summer.
In the morning, open the blinds and not the windows. Tree
and grass pollen is in the air and can trigger scratchy eyes and endless
sneezing. Forbes Living suggests changing air filters every season to rid the
home of trapped allergens. Run the A/C to get rid of any stuffiness. Watch
local news forecasts or go online to get the most current pollen count for your
area. Before heading out the door, toss on some sunglasses to further block any
irritants from becoming bothersome.
Later in the afternoon, take a breather, eat some yogurt or
get some exercise. The pollen counts are lower in the afternoon than any other
time of day. Go outside and take walk. This helps lower stress which can
trigger allergies. Yogurt has some qualities which might help keep allergens at
bay. So grab a fat free Greek yogurt, add some fresh fruit and enjoy.
Come evening, kick shoes off, strip down and take a shower
to keep pollen and other irritants out and away from home. Be sure to turn the
bathroom fan on to keep moisture and mold at bay. Ban pets with long hair from
the bedroom as their fur can trap pollen and they can bring it to bed with
them. And pop a 24-hour relief pill before going to sleep, since they can cause
drowsiness. When awake, Forbes Living TV learns you will be already protected
from any allergens and irritants. Stay healthy, readers.
