 Wonder what’s causing your autumn allergies? Whatever the trigger may be, there are ways to fight it. The right exercise routine and hygiene can help, but so can diet. Here are some of the top foods that may ease up your allergies and others you should stay away from:

Tea - Warm fluids such as tea or chicken soup can help break up congestion, suppressing your seasonal cough.

Honey - Put some in your honey or on a salad. Studies show that a teaspoon is a common treatment for allergies.

Fish - The more omega-3 fatty acids you ingest, the less likely you are to develop allergies. Try tuna, salmon, and mackerel for example.

Yogurt - Some research shows that probiotics found in yogurt might slightly reduce pollen allergy symptoms in children.

To avoid making allergies worse, shy away from foods such as:

Certain fruits and vegetables - They contain proteins similar to those in pollens, which could be a trigger for some.

Beer or wine - Drinking alcohol can make nasal congestion worse (especially beer).
