Diet & Prevention
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, maintaining a strong digestive system and healthy defensive Qi (Wei Qi) may help support the body's natural response to seasonal and environmental allergens.
Helpful habits include:
- Regular exercise
- Adequate sleep
- Staying hydrated
- Reducing processed foods
- Limiting excess sugar
- Supporting digestive health
- Keeping indoor environments clean during allergy seasons
Some individuals choose to reduce foods that may contribute to internal heat or dampness, including excessive fried foods, alcohol, highly processed foods, and excess sugar.
