The Benefits Of Hydration When Battling Allergies

Whether you’re struggling from seasonal allergies or pet dander, you may be surprised at how well proper hydration can help. Drinking water is an excellent way to reduce the impact of allergies in your environment — or sometimes even to eliminate them altogether. Drinking water improves health in a variety of ways, from bolstering your
immune system to ensuring proper organ function. Here is how it can help with allergies.
What Causes an Allergic Reaction?
An allergic reaction is a reaction involving histamines within the body. Histamines react to allergens such as pollen and pet dander, believing that they are dangerous to the body. This then provokes the body’s immune response, which becomes more harmful than the allergen itself. To treat this, most people take something known as an
“antihistamine” or an allergy pill. These allergy pills reduce the amount of allergy production that occurs throughout the body, which then settles down the allergic reaction.
How Can Water Help?
When a body is dehydrated, it has a more concentrated amount of histamines and it actually ramps up histamine production. Histamine doesn’t just react to allergens; it’s actually a necessary component in an individual’s body to store water for usage. Histamine production increases during dehydration to make sure that water is available
for the body’s most essential functions. By drinking more water, you reduce the amount of histamines in your body, and therefore you reduce the chances of an allergic attack altogether. Further, dehydration also reduces the amount of antibodies in your blood, which can mean that your body is ill-equipped to handle virus, bacteria, and
fungi. Hydration helps both of these problems. Proper hydration can easily lead to fewer allergies, and it’s as easy as drinking a little more water throughout the day.
