Over the weekend, we all lost an hour of sleep due to daylight savings time and the need to set our clocks forward.\u00a0\u00a0However, a little less rest is not the only concern raised as the spring season is just around the corner.\u00a0 While many households, weary from a long\u00a0winter of brutal storms,\u00a0may be\u00a0looking forward to\u00a0throwing\u00a0open the windows to allow the warm breeze\u00a0into their home, this common practice also provides an opportunity for allergens to wreak havoc on the immune systems of those inside.<\/p>\n
Over 40 millions Americans\u00a0experience moderate to severe allergy symptoms at some point throughout the year.\u00a0 In fact,\u00a0the odds are pretty good that you are one of those millions, considering that indoor and outdoor allergies were recently named one of the top five chronic diseases in the United States.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Allergy symptoms\u00a0commonly flare up during seasonal transitions,\u00a0especially from winter to spring and from\u00a0summer to fall.\u00a0 If you notice that you\u00a0tend to experience sneezing, a runny nose, or itchy, watery eyes during these times of the year, there is a good chance that\u00a0you may have seasonal allergies.<\/p>\n
Here are some tips to help you reduce your exposure to allergy “triggers” and reduce the severity of your symptoms:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Stay inside between 5:00 am and 10:00 am and on windy days, when pollen levels are at their peak.<\/li>\n
Clean and\/or replace your air filters at least once a year, but prefarably\u00a0before both major\u00a0seasonal transitions.<\/li>\n
Utilize High-efficiency Particulate Air filters (HEPA).<\/li>\n
Keep your windows closed and set the air conditioner to use recirculated air.<\/li>\n
Avoid hanging laundry outdoors, where it may gather pollen and other allergens that you will then be exposed to upon wearing the items.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
