Allergy
Season
Well,
it's almost that time of year again – allergy season. Some people
dread this time of year while others look forward to spring –
flowers, Easter, budding trees, the smell of freshly cut grass. So
I'm going to help give you a great solution to your runny nose,
watery eyes and scratchy throat. And that solution is drinking plenty
of ionized water!
Ionized
Water Leads to Greater Hydration
I
have gone over how ionized water has been shown to greatly increase hydration, as compared to drinking regular tap water, bottled water
or distilled water. This is due to the micro-clustered water
molecules that are easier for your body to absorb and use. This
increased hydration helps the body handle the allergens in the air
that invade your body. This helps keep the body from releasing
histamine, which, while it helps protect the body from these
“invaders”, causes the watery eyes, runny nose, scratchy throat,
et al, that millions of people suffer through every spring and fall.
Dehydration
and Histamine
According
to Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, author of “Water:
for Health, for Healing, for Life”,
being dehydrated is one of the main causes of allergies.
When
the body is dehydrated your body produces more histamine. And
considering nearly 75% of people are dehydrated, it's no wonder so
many suffer from allergies!
Histamine
is a natural compound released by the cells when they are injured or
there are allergens present in the body. The body sees these
allergens as harmful to the body and so the immune system releases
histamine. This causes the blood vessels to dilate. As a result fluid
and cells can leak from the bloodstream and do so in affected area.
This is why you get a runny nose and watery eyes. These are the areas
of the body most affected by the allergens and so the body sends
localized help to these areas to fight off the supposed “intruders.”
Another response in the body caused by the release of histamine is
the contraction of smooth muscles, such as in the lungs. This leads
to contracting bronchial tubes and that's why you get coughing,
wheezing, etc.
I'm
sure we've all seen commercials for anti-histamines. All these
medications do is suppress the body's reaction to the release of the
histamine in the body.
A
better option, and a far more inexpensive one at that, is to increase
your consumption of alkaline ionized water during allergy season. I
suggest getting a jump start on the impending arrival of all types of
pollen and increase your ionized water intake. And if you do begin to
see any signs of an allergic reaction flaring up, quickly drink 24-32
ounces of ionized water. This increased hydration will help inhibit
the release of histamine and help your body flush these allergens
from your body naturally.
