Allergies & Groceries

Found this in my morning YOU Doc's column -- most interesting -- will keep my eyes open for more information on foods and air borne allergies.

Make a stay-strong grocery list.

Dark leafy vegetables, 100 percent whole grains, unsaturated fats and lean protein boost immune strength. And avoid pollen allergy co-conspirators: 70 percent of those with allergies to birch or alder trees also get an itchy, swollen mouth from celery, cherries and apples. And 20 percent with a grass allergy react to tomatoes, potatoes or peaches. Cooking them may quell irritants, or leave them off your menu.
