We've discussed food that bring about allergies in this blog quite often. How about food items that help fight allergies? This article says that sticking to the right diet and eating plan can alleviate or prevent allergies and asthma in four ways:

1. It can help control underlying inflammation of air passages.

2. It can dilate air passages.

3. It can thin mucus in the lungs.

4. It can prevent food-allergy reactions that trigger asthma attacks.

So if you have allergies, particularly to pollen, pet dander, dust mite and the like, here are some food items you should make a point to incorporate more of into your diet:

food items rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids such as cold-water fish

gamma-linolenic acid such as those found in evening primrose oil, borage oil, and black currant seed oil

fruit juices

foods high in fiber

yogurt

Read more on how these food items help your body cope with your allergies from the full article. They won't treat your allergies, but they can help alleviate your symptoms, and possibly prevent reactions to a certain extent.
