Diet Chart for Allergic Rhinitis
Importance of Diet in Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is brought on by an overactive immune system reaction to allergens such as dust, pollen, or pet dander. Diet is a supporting factor in that:
- Reduces systemic inflammation and histamine reaction
- Increases immune system to lower sensitivity to allergens
- Aids gut health (which affects immunity)
- Reduces mucus formation and congestion
Goals of Diet Therapy
- Include anti-inflammatory and antihistamine food
- Avoid common food triggers that exacerbate symptoms
- Enhance good gut health and immune regulation
- Provide vitamin C, quercetin, omega-3s, and probiotics for relief from allergy
- Hydrate the body and avoid mucus-forming foods
