Drink More Water

During winter, it is so cold that your body does not sweat as much as it does. As such, there is a lot of water retention. After a while, you get used to drinking less water each day. At the start of spring, it might be hard for you to go back to drinking more water.One of the things you need to remember is that when your body is dehydrated, it is easier for dust and pollen to get into the lungs and trigger an allergic reaction. Staying hydrated ensures you have enough mucus in the nose to trap out the particles. Here are some of the ways you can go about increasing your water intake as spring rolls in.

●     Drink water before and after your shower

●     Add some cucumbers and lemon slices if you find plain water too bland. It may help you drink more.

●     Drink two cups of water before you go to bed.

Eat Citrus Fruit

One of the things you will notice about spring is the flu that comes with it. You may want to find a way to build your immune system in advance, so that it is strong enough to withstand the cold season. One big immune booster is citrus fruits. Whether you choose lemons, limes, oranges, or grapefruit, these fruits are rich in vitamin C, which is good for fighting off allergies that might cause flare-ups.

Give Your House a Spring Clean

The one thing that can lead to your allergies getting worse is staying in a house with excess dust and dirt. While you might have gotten through winter without doing a lot of deep cleaning, you need to pay more attention to the area now that the sun is out. A clean house might not do it for those with the most irritable allergy symptoms. In this case, you might want to consider getting some dust mite allergy treatment. Getting rid of dust will help to ensure that no mites stay in them. Dust mites are really small insects that are found in the dust in your home. They can get into your body through your nose or mouth when you breathe in and can cause inflammation in your lung. While they might cause a cough for some people, they can be very dangerous for anyone who has issues with allergies.

Cleaning out the dust is the best way to avoid this issue altogether, and high traffic areas of the home are a great place to start. One important consideration is to think about your bedroom.There are millions of dead skin cells that fall off when we sleep, creating a breeding ground for dust mites and other allergens. Many people don’t know how or when to clean their duvet and pillows, so make sure to research some reliable sources on how to wash your duvet and pillows properly.

Wear a Mask

If you plan on going outside when there is a lot of pollen, it could make sense to wear a mask. While pollen does not affect many people, it can be hard for you to breathe if you have allergies. The masks ensure that you get about your day without inhaling any pollen. Aside from pollen, there are masks that will also ensure that you do not inhale smoke and other triggers around you. It goes a long way to prevent any allergies from flaring up.

Spring brings with it positives and negatives as well. Knowing about these ensures that you can figure out ways to prevent them. Before you start taking any medication, ensure you have sought out natural remedies around you. Many times the only thing you need to do is ensure you keep the area you are in clean. It will go to great lengths to ensure you and your family get to enjoy spring without any issues.
