National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month


Taking care of your allergies throughout the seasons is necessary for your well-being and your health. The entire month of May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month. Eat fruits and vegetables that have vitamin C. For example, eat a grapefruit, or an orange, or make lemonade to improve your immune system and prevent allergies. Remove your outdoor shoes before entering your home and wear your indoor shoes. 

Clean your floors or vacuum your floors to eliminate indoor dust. Remove the dust from your fans and change the filters from your air conditioning. Dust items that accumulate dust and wash your blankets every two weeks. Read the ingredients of laundry detergents or purchase laundry soap for sensitive skin. Also, use gloves when cleaning to avoid an allergic rash. 


Take a bath or a shower until there is enough steam in the bathroom. Change your clothes immediately after exercising outside. Avoid being outside when the humidity is high, and the pollen count is high. Wear a mask when cleaning and painting your rooms. Clean your home often, especially if you are allergic to dust. 


Make a list of items that you have allergies to avoid those items such as perfume ingredients or scented soaps. Purchase hypoallergenic perfumes and soaps to avoid allergic reactions. Use your inhaler, nasal spray, or take an antihistamine. Do not sleep with your pets. Read the labels of your clothes to make sure you are not allergic to fabrics.


Use a humidifier and dehumidifier. Try acupuncture for your allergies. If you have asthma and allergies, you may want to try allergy shots. Consult with your primary doctor for more recommendations for your allergies. Here are websites about treating your allergies.
