I’ve seen countless patients arrive complaining about gut (肠道) problems. Once we fixed their diets and solved their gut problems, their seasonal allergies (过敏) also disappeared!
One patient struggled with allergies. She nearly died twice from allergies. She arrived at my office on 42 different pills; yet, she still felt awful. It turned out that she had leaky gut (肠漏症). We healed her leaky gut and calmed down her allergies. Thankfully, after six weeks, she was able to stop the 42 pills she used daily. For her and countless other patients, a key solution involves getting your gut healthy. To do that and remove seasonal allergies, I’ve found these four ways really helpful.
Replace bad with good. A healthy diet becomes the first step for a healthy gut. Take out the bad and put in the good. Remove wheat, corn, dairy, soy and alcohol.Eat a highfiber diet. Avoid anything that has sugar or trans fats (反式脂肪). Focus on eating healthy fats from olive oil, nuts, and omega3 fats like those found in small fish.
Use powerful guthealing nutrients, including probiotics (益生菌). Other guthealing nutrients include fish oil.
Manage stress. A mindbody disconnection can mean being stressed out and tired, and your gut can be vitiated and your seasonal allergies will become worse as a result. Do some exercise that can help you relax like yoga every day.
Get enough sleep. Enough sleep is important for gut health and overall health. Research shows a lack of sleep shortens your lifespan and increases inflammation (炎症), which can lead to longterm diseases. A lack of sleep can also increase your risk of diabetes, leading to obesity. Aim for at least eight hours of good sleep every night.
If you follow the ways listed above, surely you’ll have healthier guts, reducing the chance of suffering seasonal allergies as a result.
