Tip of the Day: Breathing Easier Despite Allergies

March 22, 2010— -- Eye-watering, sinus-blocking allergies. For all too many Americans, they are a reality that strikes every spring. Fortunately, you may be able to deal with them by following some simple tips.

First step -- keep allergens out of your clothes! After being outside, wash your clothes, as pollen can linger. Reduce mold in your home by using a dehumidifier to keep the humidity below 50 percent. And if sinus pressure is bothering you, make sure you stay hydrated and avoid drinks with caffeine.
