Diet & Lifestyle Advise

Diet & Lifestyle for Allergic or inflammatory conditions:

  • Consume antioxidant-rich food. Blueberries, tomatoes, cherries, squash, and bell peppers are highly antioxidants.
  • Consuming probiotic-rich foods aids in the development of the immune system's resistance to allergies.
  • Consume foods rich in quercetin (a flavonoid), such as apples, cherries, spinach, broccoli, and blueberries.
  • Include seasonal fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and fish in your daily diet.
  • Limit your intake of foods that may cause allergies, such as dairy products, soy, eggs, and nuts.
  • Limit the consumption of foods high in sugar that may aggravate inflammation.
  • Reducing stress and having a regular sleep schedule might be beneficial.
  • Avoid processed meats, refined carbohydrates, sugar, trans fats, and alcohol, as they may aggravate inflammation.
