Good News!
For approximately 60 million people who suffers from allergy…
Japanese researchers have found that Green tea has powerful antioxidant phytonutrient called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) that blocks histamine and immunoglobulin E (IgE) which are naturally-produced chemicals linked to allergy-symptoms. Because EGCG blocks their production, allergy symptoms are reduced.
For about 2 cups a day, but not limited to, suspected allergens like pollen, dust and certain foods can minimize the effect. Also, with proper diet and exercise… may help effectively alleviate the effects of allergies.
In addition…
Green tea’s powerful antioxidants…has proven to reduce prostate cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, stroke and certain risks of heart attack.
For an extra boost…squeeze in a lemon, which produces vitamin C helping your body absorb more of the antioxidants.

The truth is…
Stress doesn’t cause any allergies, but chronic stress may trigger the symptoms.
Allergy is identified as clinical diseases that affect more than 40% of the world’s population. Adding chronic stress to combine with your discomfort or irritation may become even worse. Because stress can cause chemical changes in your body that may affect your immune system, and you become more sensitive.
Here are some stress and allergy symptoms…
- Hay fever — during hay fever season and you are going through stressful time you may experience runny nose, sneezing worse and itchy eyes.
- Hives — those raised, red and often itchy spots on your skin usually indicate an allergic reaction of some sort, but they also may be triggered by stress. If your rash is related to stress, managing stress may help reduce outbreaks.
If all the stressors in your life disappear do you think all your allergy symptoms may stop? NO, but by using a positive step to help manage stress, it’s possible to ease them.
Here’s how to break the cycle.
- Get enough sleep
- Make a habit to exercise everyday
- Meditate
- Try deep breathing
- Speak to your doctor

ACTUALLY…HONEY makes the medicine go down or even down the drain…
There isn’t much scientific evidence to back this one, but there seems to be A LOT of anecdotal evidence from people who have tried it.
Finnish researchers conducted a study before the start of the pollen season. They advised the patients with a known allergy to birch pollen to consume local honey for about five months.
HOWEVER…
Before the end of 5 months, 75% of patients reported lower total symptom scores. Investigators concluded that the local honey had helped reduce patients’ allergic symptoms.
The theory is that….
Consuming local honey from where you live will help your body adapt to the allergens in the environment. This is supposed to work like a natural allergy “shot” and doesn’t seem to have a downside.
HOW TO USE?
Consume a teaspoon or more of raw, unprocessed local honey from as close to where you actually live as possible. Do this one or more times a day to help relieve symptoms. It is often suggested to start this a month or so before a seasonal allergies Singapore start to manifest.
We only spend a third of our life actually sleeping, but the art of catching z’s can rule the majority of our lives. Between figuring out our circadian clock, juggling work and home, and battling insomnia-inducing factors, we can’t get enough of perfecting our sleep routine.
And we have good reason. Not getting enough sleep can lead to a multitude of not-so-great things. Why is sleep so important? Here are 10 consequences of not getting enough sleep.
- You’ll eat more. Three-hundred calories more, to be precise. A recent study found that sleep-deprived subjects, when allowed to eat whatever they wanted, ate more than when they had a full night’s sleep, even though they stuck to their normal eating schedule.
- You may not live as long. Researchers may have found the secret to long life – a study found that women who slept fewer than five hours a night were less likely to live as long as those who got more.
- You’ll weigh more. Logically, if you are regularly consuming more calories every day it stands to reason you may weigh more, but the weight gain is not only caused by what you consume. Not enough sleep also causes stress on the body, which triggers it to slow metabolism and store fat.
- It shrinks your brain. Researchers found that chronic insomniacs had smaller, less-dense brains, which affected crucial parts of their neurological systems like decision-making.
- It raises your blood pressure. A study found that adults who missed an hour of sleep each night for five years ended up increasing their risk for hypertension by almost 40 percent.
- It increases your risk of getting sick. Not enough shut-eye has been proven to leave people susceptible to cold viruses.
- It can worsen your memory. Ever feel like you can’t remember your to-dos after a night of tossing and turning? Those REM waves we experience at the beginning of a sleep cycle can boost memory and creativity, so if you’ve underslept the night before, try a quick power nap to recoup some of your memory skills.
- You’ll skip your workouts. Lack of sleep means lack of energy, which probably means lack of gym time. In fact, research has shown that sleep deprivation is a key reason people stay inactive.
- It makes you cranky. Or, as researchers say, more “primitive.” Without sleep, we revert back to a more primal version of ourselves, meaning we can’t appropriately cope with emotions or respond maturely to situations.
- You’re not on your game. On top of all these consequences, not enough sleep just makes us feel, well, blah. We’ve all found ourselves reacting less quickly after a sleepless night, not to mention foggy-headed, so if you need to catch more z’s, check out some of our eating and exercise tips to help you sleep soundly.
