What you eat might impact seasonal allergies. Here is what to put on your plate in order to limit, as much as possible, the disturbing symptoms. A brief overview.
Seasonal allergies are often debilitating. Runny nose, congestion: the daily life of those who suffer from it can quickly turn into a real ordeal. But according to some experts, this discomfort might disappear if you carefully monitor your diet.

It is particularly advisable to eat vegetables that contain vitamin C, such as Brussels sprouts. “Vitamin C is a water-soluble micronutrient found in many vegetables. It can play several important roles in the body, such as fighting allergies, as it helps regulate the body’s natural inflammatory responses”said Katie E. Golden, MD, medical writer at GoodRx.

For these reasons, you must take them carefully, under the supervision of a doctor”, said an expert quoted by the New York Post.
