Allergies Be Gone!
We've recently come through one of the roughest allergy seasons on record.
It seems like there was more pollen than ever and we all had more sinus attacks.
Did we really and, if so, why? People who regularly suffer with allergies were sick this year more intensely and more often.
Some had long, drawn out attacks that went on for weeks and cost a fortune in drug and doctor bills.
Other folks who are normally healthy became ill, too.
Why? You probably have figured out that there's not a great deal more grass around your home - or - more pine trees.
Ragweed is probably not an issue either.
And unless you've adopted a house full of dogs and cats, you probably are having no more exposure to pet dander than usual.
What could be the problem? Have you "developed" some terrible allergy sensitivity? It's time to see if there are any logical answers.
They may surprise you.
The simple truth is we human beings are more susceptible to illness when we're dealing with more of life's stressors.
We feel the stresses of life now like never before! If you have never had a full scale allergy attack or sinus infection, consider yourself lucky.
A major life stressor can trigger one.
If you're thinking that stress has nothing to do with allergies, think about all of the other health conditions that doctors tell you are affected by stress.
The list can be a long one: digestive system, blood pressure, heart function, a sudden devastating health condition (like cancer), breathing, sleeping, etc.
There surely are more, but you get the idea.
Stress can affect your body greatly.
Stress hormones change your body emotionally, chemically and energetically.
Know that whether you're feeling the "stress" pinch because of a) your job or avocation; b) your home life; c) the cost of living going sky high (food, gas, clothes, vacations); or d) your outward look toward the future (Will I be able to retire?), everything has the capability of pressing down upon you and altering your Immune System function if you don't find a way to control the resulting stress.
This is especially true of allergies (or allergy-like conditions as I prefer to call them.
)
