1. Overhaul Your Home

It may not seem logical, but the cozy indoors is often worse for your allergies than the raw outdoors. Your home -- with its fabric-covered furniture and pillows, its carpeting, tightly sealed windows, and warm, damp spaces -- is like a field strewn with allergy landmines. Research shows that indoor air pollution can be up to 10 times greater than outdoor pollution and its effects much more intense, since we generally spend more than 90 percent of our time indoors. So it's essential that you do a top-to-bottom inventory of your house to determine where allergens are congregating (bedding, carpet, damp areas, and air filters are likely spots) and clean them up.

My daughter's allergist also says to never eat the same foods every day, especially if you already have lots of allergies, because it can make you allergic to the ones you eat regularly.
