Madeira A “What do May Flowers bring? Allergies!” Recent thundershowers have brought welcome relief to high pollen counts. But while seasonal allergy sufferers wait for the next good hard downpour, there’s a dietary change they can make that may bing some relief. esearchers in Heidelberg, Germany analyzed possible links between hay fever and the intake of fatty acids and antioxidants. Two years of dietary information was collected on more than 330 adults with hay fever and compared with the same information on about 1,330 adults without hay fever. The Heidelberg team found the following associations: * A high intake of oleic acid (found in baked goods, candy, ice cream, sodas, chocolate, red meat, olive oil) was associated with increased risk of hay fever + A high intake of beta- carotene (Vit. A) was associated with increased risk of hay fever * A high intake of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA - an omega 3 fatty acid found in fish and. flax seeds) was associated with reduced risk of hay fever * A high intake of vitamin E was associated with a reduced risk of hay fever. Previous studies on the association of nutrition and ha fever have shown that diets hig in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3 fatty acids are gengrally associated with a igher risk of hay fever symptoms. Dr. Madeira has 14 years oiperience helping allergy erers find non-drug solutions to allergy symptoms.
