Allergics? What Foods to Eat to Prevent Skin Allergies
As the temperature rises in spring, everything revives and spring flowers bloom, the air contains more pollen and dust, and seasonal allergy symptoms come along. Every time the allergic skin is red and itchy from time to time, often with small bumps; when the spring breeze blows and the willow flutters, the nose, sneeze and tears are oozing. So what about spring allergies?
A reasonable dietary structure and adequate rest can help reduce the chances of allergies in the body. Let's take a look at how to eat to prevent and relieve allergies!
What foods to eat to prevent skin allergies?
1, Honey
Experts suggest that drinking a spoonful of honey every day can keep away seasonal allergy symptoms such as rhinitis, asthma, itching, cough and dry eyes. There are two reasons for this: First, honey contains trace amounts of bee venom. Bee venom is often used clinically in the treatment of allergic diseases such as bronchial asthma; secondly, honey contains certain pollen grains, and drinking it regularly will create some resistance to pollen allergies.
It is best not to heat it at high temperatures, but it is best not to drink it if you are allergic to honey or if you have children under one year old.
2, Onions
While cutting onions makes people weep, eating more onions can relieve asthma allergy symptoms caused by spring pollen drifting around. Histamine in pollen is a chemical that causes asthma allergy symptoms, and quercetin, a natural antihistamine contained in onions, can reduce infection and relieve allergy symptoms, which can reduce the chances of an asthma attack by about half.
In addition, purple-skinned onions contain anthocyanins, which are strong antioxidants that protect the body from free radical damage and inhibit inflammation and allergies.
3, Carrot
Japanese scientists have found that beta-carotene in carrots can regulate the internal balance of cells, improve allergies and prevent allergies such as atopic dermatitis and pollen allergy. Eating carrots for a long time can strengthen the body and keep the skin in a healthy state, making it shiny, rosy and tender.
4, Tomatoes
Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and carotene and lycopene, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, and have a soothing and whitening effect on the skin. Whether used directly on the face or eaten, they are beneficial to the skin and body. Some tests have shown that peeling and mashing tomatoes with seeds and applying them to affected areas suffering from skin diseases has a soothing effect after 2 to 3 days.
5, Red dates
Japanese scholars found that red dates contain a large amount of anti-allergic substances - cyclic adenosine phosphate, which can prevent the occurrence of allergic reactions. Anyone with allergy symptoms can often take red dates. The method is: ① red dates 10, water decoction, 3 times a day.
②Eating red dates raw, 10 grams each time, 3 times a day. ③10 red dates and 100 grams of barley in water decoction, 2 to 3 times a day. All the above are taken until the allergy symptoms disappear. When decocting dates, it is better to break the decoction, and sugar should not be added when decocting.
6, Broccoli
Broccoli contains a special compound - lycopene, which can make the respiratory tract antioxidant enzymes play better, thus reducing pollen, dust, exhaust fumes and other adverse effects on the respiratory tract, effectively preventing inflammation, greatly reducing allergic rhinitis and asthma attacks, often eat broccoli can also reduce and alleviate allergy symptoms.
7, Golden needle mushroom
Researchers have found that the stalk of the enoki mushroom contains a protein that can suppress allergic conditions such as asthma, rhinitis and eczema, and people who do not have the disease can also strengthen their immune system by eating enoki mushrooms.
Recently, the enoki mushroom has been nicknamed "see you tomorrow", and its regular consumption is good for eliminating heavy metal ions and metabolic toxins and wastes, which can effectively enhance the vitality of the body. However, it is important to cook the fresh mushrooms for a few more minutes.
