Tips for alleviating allergies all year round:

Oh bloody hell, seasonal allergies have been a right pain in the arse for me since I was a young 'un! It ain't just the bloomin' spring or summer I got 'em, oh no, I've dealt with the misery year-round.

A congested nose, itchy, watery eyes, constant sneezing, a sore throat, and a damn pesky cough (from postnasal drip) have been bloody frustrating indeed!

But fear not, me hearties, if you're up to your ears in allergens as well, there's a silver lining to this story!

In truth, depending on what you put in your gob, overcoming the struggle might be as effortless as adding a few extra delish foods to your diet!

Here's the crack of it...

Probiotics and your bod's immune system

Gooners at the University of Florida already knew that the combination of probiotics, lactobacilli, and bifidobacteria does wonders for digestive health and parts of the immune system, 'cause they keep the bacteria that make you ill at bay and boost gut health.

They thought, "Bollocks, if these probbies help with that, might they also boost the body's percentage of regulatory T-cells and stop hay fever symptoms by increasing tolerance?"

So, they enlisted 173 healthy adults in the thick of allergy season who suffered from the bloody nuisance of allergies and split 'em into two groups: Some took the bloody probiotics, others got a bloody placebo.

Week by week during the eight-week experiment, participants filled out an online survey about their discomfort.

The folks who took the probiotics reported a better quality of life compared to the placebo group. They suffered fewer allergy-related nasal symptoms, like sneezing, an itchy or runny nose, and the like.

Beating the allergy trap

So, how can you give ol' allergies the boot and feel like a new person?

First off, take a probiotic that combines lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, like the one used in the study. These probbies are widely available online and in your local health store. You can also get 'em by popping a few probiotic-rich foods into your diet, like kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, and natto.

Other ways to improve your allergy symptoms include...

Nabbing some sweet treats - A study found that patients who took honey reported a bloody 60 percent lower total symptom score, twice as many symptom-free days, and 70 percent fewer days with severe symptoms. They also took less antihistamines compared to the control group that took traditional meds. Give one tablespoon of raw honey per day a bloody go for best results.
Taking quercetin - A bloody scientific study found that quercetin helped control peanut allergies because it calmed the bloody hyperactivity of the airways. If you're prone to seasonal allergies, you should start taking quercetin a few weeks before allergies typically flare up to give it enough time to start working properly.
Harnessing the power of golden oil - The oil pressed from organic black Nigella sativa seeds can help support a healthy allergic response and your immune system.
Cleaning your living environment - Eliminate pollen and mites from the air by investing in an air purification system with UV and negative ion filters. Since carpet carries pet dander, dust, and pollen from outdoors, which can exacerbate allergies, consider replacing carpet with non-toxic wool, non-toxic hardwood, or cork flooring if you bloody can.
The combination of probiotics, lactobacilli, and bifidobacteria, known for their benefits in natural health and digestive health, might also aid in boosting the body's regulatory T-cells, thus potentially reducing hay fever symptoms by increasing tolerance.
To combat allergies and feel rejuvenated, consider incorporating a probiotic supplement that contains lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, or adding probiotic-rich foods such as kefir, kimchi, sauerkraut, and natto to your diet.
Honey, quercetin, and golden oil from organic black Nigella sativa seeds, along with a clean living environment, can also help in managing seasonal allergies and improving mental-health and wellness by reducing symptoms related to fitness-and-exercise.
