Sorry for the delay in blogs - gremlins in the system and IT traumas!

Did you know that food can be a powerful tool in fighting and preventing many illnesses?

SUFFER FROM HAYFEVER? EAT YOURSELF BETTER!

The first step is to support your immune system well.
Eating fresh foods is essential to obtain all the vitamins and minerals required by the body.
VITAMIN A is important for mucus membranes, so also include eggs and oily fish.
VITAMIN C is a natural anti histamine and is useful for easing bronchial constriction.
SELENIUM may boost the immune sytem too - try eating brazil nuts, fish, liver and mushrooms.

Studies have shown that QUERCETIN may help alleviate hayfever symptoms too. This is a naturally occuring plant pigment which has anti inflammatory and anti histamine properties. Good sources are apples with the skin on, berries, red grapes, red onions, capers and black and green tea.

Having said all that , it's raining so no hay fever today! At least you can be well prepared.

Keep eating well and remember - DON'T DIET!
