You can prevent  with keeping fit.  Keeping fit helps build immunity and to become more resistent to allergens.

When you do brisk exercises, you increase the mobility of the immune cells in your body. Great exercises that are especially great in helping you to fight allergies include yoga, qigong, swimming, jogging and bicycling.

You need a regular exercise program for at least half an hour to an hour a day, at least three times a week.  Keeping fit to prevent  should not be a one day affair.  To ensure that you are able to keep to your routine, you really should enjoy the exercise program that you have chosen. Having a group of friends or getting your spouse or loved one to join you can also keep you motivated.

However, do note that over exercising is not helpful. When you do too much exercise, you release stress hormones that can suppress your immune system for many hours instead. This is counter effective.

If you are down with a severe allergy attack, then do not exercise for that few days.  If you continue to exercise when you are feeling run down, your immune system is going to break down.  A runny nose may just turn into a more severe cold or flu attack. 

Also, ensure that you are also getting adequate rest and eating well as you start on a new fitness regime to help prevent allergies. Not paying attention to these factors will not bring you optimum results.

It is important to address your allergies with appropriate treatment.  For years, I have lived with a runny nose, watery eyes and itchy skin.  I lived among dust and never realized that I was allergic to cat dander.  I had severe food allergies. 

However, in the recent years and up to today, I have learnt that the effort I put into investigating and treating my symptoms appropriately is well worth it.  The awareness I have now helps to prevent and minimise my reactions.

Some experts say that one of two things can develop with .  Either you can develop some form of resistence or if the allergy is allowed to fester over a long period of time, it can become more severe.  When symptoms become severe, it gets harder to treat or reverse the allergy.

Allergy sufferers tend to catch colds and flu more easily and are more prone to sinus and ear infections.  This happen because the respiratory tissues are already inflammed by the allergy.  A greater concern is when respiratory allergies result in asthma.  Itchy skin can also worsen to a massive eczema outbreak.

Hence, addressing your allergies quickly is important to obtaining relief. You do not have to live with long episodes of runny noses and itchy eyes. Spending the time to identify and address your allergies is worth your effort!
