As seasonal allergies peak, many individuals experience symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 4 children are affected, resulting in around 3.8 million missed days of work and school each year. The warming climate has extended allergy seasons, intensifying symptoms. Certain foods may help alleviate these symptoms. Onions and garlic contain quercetin, which can reduce histamine release, while fatty fish like salmon and trout provide omega-3 fats that help reduce inflammation. Probiotics in kefir and yogurt may also assist in managing allergies. Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that reduces swelling from allergic reactions. Additionally, consuming local honey might help some individuals build tolerance to local pollen. While these foods can support allergy management, they do not cure allergies or replace medications.
