What Is an Allergy?
• An allergy is when your immune system reacts to a foreign substance, called an allergen. It could be something you eat, inhale into your lungs, inject into your body, or touch.
• An allergic reaction can cause coughing, sneezing, hives, rashes, itchy eyes, a runny nose, and a scratchy throat. In severe cases, it can cause low blood pressure, breathing trouble, asthma attacks, and even death if not treated promptly.
• There is no cure for allergies. You can manage allergies with prevention and treatment.
• Allergies are among the country’s most common, but overlooked, diseases.

Treating Allergies by Training the Immune System
• Stay hydrated. When it is dehydrated, your body produces more histamines (the chemicals that cause your allergy symptoms), so drinking enough water—at least one-third of your body weight in ounces—each day is key.
• Eat Vitamin-C-rich foods. Staving off allergies means making sure your immune system is in tip-top shape.
Studies show that Vitamin-C, which is nature's anti-histamine, reduces allergy symptoms and inflammation while strengthening the immune system. Vitamin-C, along with Zinc and magnesium (essential minerals present in F2N Theobroma Superfood and F2N Premium), both integral to building healthy immune systems, are particularly beneficial.
