Do you have a love/hate relationship with the springtime? Overwhelmed with allergies?

It's easy to love spring with the sunshine, longer daylight, and the influx of green everywhere. But let's talk about that green stuff?! Sneezing, itchy eyes, nausea, congestion, headaches can be frustrating due to pollens!
Allergy symptoms are caused when our bodies release histamine in response to an allergen. According the John Hopkins medical centre, allergies are considered a disorder of the immune system and there are so many 'things' that can weaken the immune system like poor quality sleep, any kind of trauma or surgery, an underlying illness, or times of emotional and/or physical stress. I mean even getting a root canal is considered a stress to the body and can impact the immune system. So let's get that immune system working for you using these simple tips to reduce your allergies.

Eat an Anti-inflammatory Diet and Alkaline System.
Inflammation is the body's natural response to safeguard against foreign bacteria, viruses, and infection. Chronic inflammation can damage internal tissues, cause high blood pressure, swollen and stiff joints, and encourage the growth of abnormal cells. Focus on adding more veggies and fruits into your diet.
