Reduce Your Allergies and Have Healthier Lungs this Fall Season!

By: Garrett Stults

Ah the time of year again where the leaves change color, the air
gets cooler, and the winter season is just a few weeks away. If
you just read this and see these things happening outside then
obviously you don't live in Southern California. Out here the
leaves stay the same, the days get hotter and the Santa Ana
winds return. We have seen this just recently and have seen the
horrible affects of the wind with the recent wildfires, but what
maybe isn't seen to everyone but felt by a lot is the toll this
wind, heat and lack of humidity is doing to people's allergies
and lungs. Most of us either have or know people who have been
coughing, sneezing, stuffy, constantly trying to relieve their
dry throat, having more and more asthma attacks and just
generally feeling pretty miserable. It's no fun to be feeling
this way, and we can expect just more of these days to come, but
what can we do to help alleviate the symptoms and possibly
prevent them? Now all you people who aren't in Southern
California don't stop reading, these tips are great for anyone
suffering from similar symptoms; hopefully they will relieve
your allergies and make for better breathing and healthier lungs.

- First of all take care of any problems you may have indoors in
your home.

- Replace sheets and pillow cases with those that help to
prevent dust mites from escaping the bedding and wash these
beddings weekly in hot water. - Make sure and keep your rooms
free from clutter and vacuum and dust regularly.

- Try to avoid going outside during high pollen count or very
windy days; most weather reports now include a pollen count that
can be a good guide to when you should avoid outside air as much
as you can.

- Especially avoid exercise during these days, replace your
routine with things that you can do in your home.

- Make sure and keep your windows closed during these days,
don't want to bring inside the air we are avoiding outside.

- Use saline eye and nose drops to keep your eyes and nose moist
during days of very low humidity, drink plenty of water and if
needed use over the counter antihistamines or decongestants.

Following these tips can dramatically help relieve your
allergies and help you to have a healthy and happy fall season.
