Foods & Allergies

Here are some common cross-allergies: If fall ragweed gives you the sniffles, apples, bananas, melons, cucumber, chamomile tea, echinacea, honey, & nuts may, too.  If you're allergic to bananas or latex, beware of eating avocado or melon.
What foods can actually help allergies?
According to Dr. Mehmet Oz, eating plenty of Vitamin B-rich foods, particularly those with lots of folate, may help control allergies. This is because Vitamin B-rich foods & folate improves the immune system to common allergies. Those with a high folate diet can see a 31% lower risk of allergy symptoms, like watery eyes, runny nose, & eczema and a 40% lower risk of wheezing. Be sure to get at least 700ug of folate. Even if no allergy problems, you want to get plenty of folate, which also helps heart disease & birth defects.
