With the arrival of spring, not only cute flowers and trees start to bloom, but also grasses and weeds. It is their pollen that is often the trigger for unpleasant pollen allergies, which are making life miserable for an increasing number of people. How to protect yourself from allergy triggers and minimise their unpleasant manifestations?
Allergies can generally be defined as the reaction of an organism with a weakened immune system to various types of irritating stimuli, called allergens. These include the aforementioned mice from flowering plants.
The most well-known pollen allergy triggers include birch, hazel, poplar, ash and various types of herbs and weeds (wormwood, ragweed). In our latitudes they are found in large numbers, the allergic person is basically exposed to them at every step.
– Follow pollen reports and pollen calendars, familiarizing himself with the time when his problem plant starts to bloom.
– Do not wait for the start of the initial manifestations of allergy – already at the beginning of the season take prescribed medication (pills, drops, sprays).
– The use of an inhaler can help.
– Avoid environments with particular plants, as well as wildlife, especially meadows. On the contrary, mountain environments or a stay by the sea may help.
– From 11. – 16 hours, the air has the highest concentration of pollen, so move your activities indoors.
– At home or at work, ventilate only at short intervals – early in the morning after waking up, in the evening before going to bed.
– Protect yourself with clothing – scarf or hat, sunglasses.
– Change into your home clothes when you come in from outside (work) – wash your clothes after taking them off. Before going to bed, wash the whole body and hair where the most pollen sticks.
– Do not air the duvets on the balcony or dry the laundry – during the day they trap pollen, which then gets into the apartment.
– Wipe dust off furniture and floors frequently, always with a wet cloth which should be cleaned regularly under running water.
– For acute manifestations of allergy, rinsing the face may help.
– Ensure a healthy lifestyle, plenty of exercise and a healthy diet. Since allergies are diseases of weakened immunity, constantly take care to strengthen it.
In addition to the vitamins and minerals contained in the diet, antioxidants can also help boost immunity.
