The arrival of spring is on everyone's mind after all
of the snow and bitter cold temperatures we've had this past winter. Longer days and
more sunlight will soon trigger tree's to start pollinating. Tree
pollen in New York is potent and causes many to suffer from symptoms of itchy
watery eyes, runny nose, sinus headaches, and cold like symptoms.
What Can You Do to Be Prepared
for New
York's Spring Allergy Season?
Here are 5 simple tips to keep you feeling great this spring season.
Get Tested
Knowing what you’re allergic
to and what triggers your symptoms is the first step to avoiding the offending
pollen. There are many non-medical ways
of avoiding allergens.
Start Medications Early
Your allergist will help you
create a plan of when to start medications, and which medications work quickly.
Taking allergy medications early and as directed can prevent you from
developing severe symptoms that can interfere with your work, school and life.
Rock a Hollywood Look
Always pack and use
sunglasses this spring. Glass help
protect your eyes from airborne pollens and dust. This will help stop itchy watery eyes without
the use of medications.
Change Your Routine
Showering at night will help
wash away airborne tree pollens off your hair so you aren’t carrying them into
your bed at night.
Spring Board Your Exercise Routine For the Beach
Season
Tree pollens are highest in
the morning. Change your exercise routine
from morning to evening to help naturally decrease your exposure to tree
pollen.
