While most of us are starting to long for the warm breezes and blooming flowers of spring, the allergy sufferers among us are doing silent cheers of relief. The longer it takes for spring to take hold, the less they have to worry about their springtime allergies. Sooner or later, spring will arrive in full force as will your allergies. If the cost of Claritin has gotten you down, you might want to consider some of these home remedies:
1. Drink tea! Green tea and chamomile tea both contain natural antihistamines. A couple of cups of either kind of tea are a great way to keep breathing easy. If you are allergic to ragweed, stay away from the chamomile tea or your allergy symptoms could get worse. Peppermint tea helps to relieve congestion, coughs, and sinus issues.
2. Up your garlic intake. Garlic helps to stimulate your immune system, and it can also act as a decongestant. Many people use it as a cough remedy. The easiest way to eat more garlic is to use more of it when you cook. Fresh garlic is the most effective, but can be harder on the taste buds.
3. Oatmeal is a great remedy for hives. If you find yourself breaking out, boil a cup of water and pour it over a single tablespoon of oatmeal. After steeping the oatmeal for thirty minutes strain it and then use a cotton ball to rub the liquid onto your skin. This is also a great way to relieve the stinging and itching that comes from bug bites. One of the best things about this remedy is that you can keep it in your refrigerator for a few days and add it to your bathwater to moisten your skin.
There are plenty of other allergy home remedies from which to choose, but these are the most popular.
Here is another reason to stop smoking and cut back on the drinking and fatty foods, reports recently released by the American Academy of Neurology have linked heavy smoking, heavy drinking, and high cholesterol with Alzheimer’s disease.
What is heavy? Heavy smoking means smoking more than one pack per day. Heavy drinking means having more than two drinks per day. People who drank and/or smoked heavily in their 40s showed signs of Alzheimer’s and dementia years earlier than those who did not smoke or drink heavily.
Scientists now think that Alzheimer’s disease starts to build up inside a person’s brain many years before a person begins to have symptoms of the disease. This could be why people who stay healthy and stay mentally active are less likely to develop the disease.
It is already known that smoking and drinking have adverse effects on the brain. These activities damage brain cells and the synapses that connect the cells together. Explaining the connection between Alzheimer’s and high cholesterol is a little bit harder.
Studies done by the American Academy of Neurology showed that people whose cholesterol levels were between 249 and 500 were 1.5 times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than people whose cholesterol levels were below 198. There are theories about whether or not the clogging of a person’s arteries by cholesterol is a cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Right now, the Academy is treating the high cholesterol levels as a predictor of whether or not a person is likely to develop Alzheimer’s.
The basic idea of the studies is this, what is bad for your heart is also bad for your brain. If something has adverse effects on your cardiovascular system, ask yourself how it will affect the central nervous system. The brain and the heart are intricately linked. It’s natural that what affects one will affect the other.
For so many Americans, back pain is a cause of discomfort, sleep loss, and work absences. To solve their problems many people turn to medicinal pain relief. While this can ease the pain, it does not help to fix the muscles that are injured or overused.
