Get Moving!
Believe it or not, cutting edge allergy experts now say that one of the original causes of allergies is pure bodily laziness. If you don't move, sooner or later something's going to catch up to you, and that something is often an allergy.
If you get up, get out and get more exercise, you will greatly reduce your risk of suffering from allergic reactions of any kind. If you have a lot of allergies, growth your daily exercise by 1 to 2 hours. Walks or bike rides in the fresh air are great for oxygenating your lungs, brain -- and whole body.
Eat Better!
It's as straightforward as this -- a poor diet makes you weak. If you eat a lot of junk food, and very miniature good food, meaning fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, you hamstring your body's immune system. With a poor diet, you have no ammunition with which to fight off covering irritants. In short, you originate allergies to those things most other citizen are strong enough to resist. So while you get more exercise, reform your diet, and watch your allergies dwindle.
Eliminate Irritants
Obviously, you should take care to avoid that which bugs you -- pet dander, pollen, dust mites and mold. Keep your house very clean. Vacuum and dust normally to operate dust mite and pet dander problems. Also, wipe down damp areas, like the bathroom, normally with disinfectant to operate mold growth. If your allergies are fairly mild, these steps will normally keep your problems under control.
Go Further
For some people, this is not enough. If your reactions continue to be severe, you might have to cut off or give away Fluffy and Fido. If you are allergic to pet dander, the last thing you want is to have your furry friends everywhere near the area where you sleep, because you don't want to breathe in their dander for eight solid hours. You might also try covering your bed in plastic and investing in synthetic Dacron pillows. This will cut down on places for pet dander and dust mites to hide.
Re-Do the Floor Plan
Rip up your carpets and put down linoleum and throw rugs. Wall-to-wall carpeting is bad news for allergies because tightly woven carpeting material can harbor dust mites, dander, pollen, and mold which even the best steam cleaner can't help.
Get and Air Conditioner
Air conditioners can help filter out pollens while dehumidifying the air in your house so mold cannot grow. Make sure you periodically clean out the air conditioner with a disinfectant, because in wet climates, air conditioners can also be a major producer of mold spores.
Air Cleaner
Invest in an industrial power air cleaner which bolts on to your central air and heating unit. These can be expensive, but they take off potentially harmful particles from every room in your house. The room-size air cleaners can take unavoidable particles out, like pollen, but there is nothing to keep more allergens from floating from other rooms.
Over the Counter
It pays to spend in over-the-counter antihistamines, which can take care of your runny nose and other symptoms. They work to a unavoidable extent.
