Can Food Help You Avoid Allergies?

Yes. Here are some of the most effective.

Horseradish, Hot mustard, Fennel, Anise,Sage
These act as natural decongestants.
My favorite is horseradish (red). I actually put in on a piece of bread (rye bread of course) and eat at the stage when the allergy symptoms first arise.


Tea- Green, Black or White
The flavonoids reduce inflammation. Tea also increases proteins in the body that fight infection.

Seafood

Cold-water fish (wild salmon, mackerel, trout, herring and sardines)
They contain omega-3 fatty acids which help fight inflammation.

Oysters, shrimp and crab.
Have antibacterial and antiviral effects that provide relief for immune systems.

Nuts
Almonds, hazelnuts and peanuts
Vitmain E in the nuts help minimize inflammation.
