While some of us jump for joy with the arrival of spring, others greet it with dread. The warmer weather brings torture for many allergy and asthma sufferers. But Fred Pescatore, M.D., author of The Allergy & Asthma Cure, has some good news: your diet can help relieve allergy and asthma symptoms.
According to Dr. Pescatore, for those who suffer with sneezing, itchy eyes, breathlessness, rashes, and other similar symptoms at this time of year, unbalanced eating habits may well be to blame. While most allergy sufferers reach for a prescription, proper nutrition can make a dramatic difference.
Formerly the Associate Medical Director of The Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine, Dr. Pescatore has compiled a list of dietary and lifestyle recommendations from his years of practice and has been able to end or reduce the need for asthma and allergy medication in many of his patients. He says that there is no need for anyone to stay indoors or feel miserable for an entire season due to these conditions.
