Navigating Spring Allergies: Foods to Add and Avoid, Flowers to Beware, and Asthma Symptoms to Watch Out For

Seasonal allergies are worsening due to climate change, but certain foods and nutrients can help alleviate symptoms. Quercetin, bromelain, vitamin C, ginger, garlic, and vitamin D3 have been found to be helpful, but it's important to consult with a doctor before taking any supplements. Pollen food allergy syndrome can occur when certain foods are cross-reactive with pollen, causing an allergic response. Common cross-reactive foods include apples, almonds, carrots, celery, and peaches. Seeing an allergist may be necessary for those who are still experiencing severe symptoms.
