Allergies

I read in a Reuters story today that a Mediterranean-style diet can help reduce allergies.

Well, bring on the grapes, olive oil and tomatoes.

While that may be (OK, it is) an oversimplification, it still has a grain of truth to it.

The article cited a study where Greek children don't suffer as much from wheezing and allergy symptoms. Researchers found that children who ate the most fresh fruits and nuts were the least likely to suffer from breathing allergies, and those who ate the most margarine were the most likely to.

That certainly makes sense to me. Eat healthy fresh foods and you'll have fewer allergies. That's certainly news I can stomach, especially with allergy season in full swing.

Does anyone else have any allergy-reducing tips? I'm definitely game to try a few home remedies. Post your suggestions in the comments section.
