]]> There are dozens of reasons to love fall, but if you’re an allergy sufferer, you may not be feeling so pleased. Spring is known as the season when pollination causes our sinuses to run wild (no pun intended) but autumn can also have people high on allergy alert. 

As the leaves and branches begin to fall, outdoor mold, fall ragweed, other weeds, and grasses can all trigger the dreaded sniffles and itchy eyes. Not fun. The culprits usually do their worst during August and October, but pollen seasons have reportedly been getting longer over the last few decades, meaning that allergy symptoms may be hanging around a lot longer. 

If you’re prone to sneezing, runny nose, streaming eyes, cough, and congestion, there are a few things you can do to ease the discomfort.

Pollen Prevention

As pollen is one of the main instigators, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on which days have high pollen counts and limiting your time outdoors on those days, as well as keeping windows closed. Windy days can also be rough. If you must venture out on these days, wear a mask that covers your mouth and nose.  

Spring Clean

Symptom triggers can find their way into your home, so take steps to allergy-proof it. Get a vacuum with a HEPA filter that cleans the air, and wash your bed linen with hot water. An air purifier can also work wonders. 

Medicare

If you are truly struggling, there is no shame in going the medicated route. Taking allergy medication like an antihistamine that won’t make you drowsy or a nose spray to reduce nasal inflammation should make a huge difference.

]]> While allergies can be an incredibly frustrating thing to deal with, there are some ways to help manage symptoms. Exercise in particular is a great way to improve blood flow and support your immune system, both of which are especially important when it comes to getting hay fever under control. While any form of exercise is beneficial, here are some things to consider when exercising while experiencing allergies:

Don’t Overexert Yourself

Even small amounts of low-impact exercise can help. Choose practices like yoga or pilates that allow you to breathe deeply. The important part is to get your heart pumping so that allergens are moved through your bloodstream more quickly.

Indoors

It’s best to perform whatever exercises you choose indoors so as not to expose yourself to more allergens and pollutants. Consider going to a gym or studio over a park or outdoor track.

Keep It Early

Pollen counts are lowest in the morning and tend to increase throughout the day as the air gets warmer and dryer, so it makes sense to do your workout shortly after waking up.

Clean Up

When you’re finished, take a hot shower and throw your clothes directly in the wash. This ensures you’ll remove any pollen you may have picked up on the way.

]]> Spring may seem like the perfect time to go back to your outdoor workouts, but it actually brings a unique set of challenges. Seasonal allergies are one of them, and if you’re a passionate runner who’s trying to combat this problem, here are three steps you should follow.

Cover Up

Looking for a way to minimize the amount of skin contact you will have with pollen during your run? Cover your head and eyes by wearing a hat and sunglasses, and consider adding a mask or a bandana to the mix to avoid sniffling and sneezing.

Don’t Forget Your Meds

If you’re taking meds or using an inhaler to fight your condition, don’t skip them before your workout. They will help you ease symptoms of your allergies, and go through your run without any major issues.

Right Time

Scheduling your run at the right time can help you reduce allergy symptoms. Pollen count is at its lowest early in the morning and late at night. It’s also important to avoid running on windy days, since there’s a lot of pollen in the air.
