6 tips: Natural ways to support the body during pollen season

During pollen season, many people may experience discomfort such as a runny nose, itchy eyes, and sneezing when the pollen count in the air is high. For those who want to complement their lifestyle with natural alternatives, there are several foods and routines that may be interesting to explore.

1. Local honey: Some believe that consuming local honey can be a way to acclimate the body to pollen in the area. However, there is limited scientific evidence for this effect, and the experience may vary from person to person.

2. Quercetin-rich food: Quercetin is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in apples, onions, broccoli, and berry. It is one of the most studied bioflavonoids and has interesting properties that make it popular in many dietary choices.

3. Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids are naturally found in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts. These fatty acids are known to be part of a balanced and nutritious diet.

4. Probiotics: A varied diet with probiotic-rich foods, such as yogurt and fermented products, can contribute to a balanced gut flora. The gut flora plays an important role in the body's natural functions. Products like Belly Boost contains ingredients that can be a supplement in everyday life for those who want to maintain a balanced diet.

5. Nasal rinsing: Rinsing the nose with a saline solution is a proven method for cleaning the nasal passages. Many find that this can be a gentle way to keep the nose free from particles during periods of high pollen levels.

6. Ginger and green tea: Ginger and green tea contain natural antioxidants and have been used in various traditions around the world. Ginger is an ingredient found in many products, including Belly Boost.

Adjusting diet and daily routines can be a way to support the body during pollen season. It is always good to be attentive to what works for oneself and to consult a doctor or allergy specialist if needed.
