They already hit me in the face…

If you’re among those who suffer, like I do, consider a natural remedy like quercetin.

Quercetin is found in red wine, tea, onions, apples, and other plant foods, and works as an antihistamine without the side effects associated with synthetic hay fever medicines.

Quercetin is one of the better home remedies for allergies because it calms immune cells, preventing or reducing their release of histamines, the substances that cause allergy symptoms in the first place.

Many studies have investigated and validated the properties of this nutrient, which, in addition to relieving allergies, can also help treat asthma.

But beyond its antihistamine activity, quercetin also has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Let’s look at this nutrient’s other health benefits.

Home Remedies For Allergies For Endurance Boosting

The University of South Carolina researchers tested the effects of quercetin on the endurance levels of 12 college students, who weren’t exceptionally active.

They were given 500 mg’s of quercetin, taken twice daily for seven days, and it increased endurance by 13 percent.

Plus, quercetin increased oxygen utilization, a measure of cardiovascular fitness, by almost 4%.

“While there’s no magic pill to take the place of regular exercise, quercetin may be important in relieving the fatigue that some sedentary people feel and provides some of the benefits of exercise. “We believe that this could be a major breakthrough in nutrition,” said researcher Mark Davis, PhD.

The study, which was partially funded by the Department of Defense, was published in the International Journal of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism.

— Other research has found that quercetin protects against heart disease by helping keep arteries dilated, reducing blood pressure and decreasing plaque build-up.

— The nutrient has also relieved interstitial cystitis, “bladder pain” that’s often accompanied by an urgent need to urinate, as well as symptoms of prostate inflammation (prostatitis).

— Research at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that quercetin also reduces risk of lung cancer among smokers and has general anticancer properties.
