Bob's Lifestyle Tip
Five Strange but Effective Ways to Deal with Allergies
Seasonal allergies affect about 40 million Americans every year. Medications like Claritin and Zyrtec can be a big help. But if that's not enough, here are five strange but effective ways to get some relief. Plus, they're all-natural.
#1.) Shampoo Your Eyelashes. Pollen clings to them, then slowly makes its way into your eyes.
--But researchers at Long Island Hospital in Brooklyn found that washing your eyelashes with baby shampoo twice a day can reduce redness, itching and puffiness by as much as 90%.
#2.) Eat Yogurt. Scientists in Italy found that two cups of plain yogurt a day can prevent flare-ups and reduce symptoms by 40% or more.
--The "good" bacteria in yogurt helps your body produce more anti-inflammatory proteins. Those proteins help your immune system stay calm when it encounters pollen or other things that might cause an allergic reaction.
#3.) Drink Iced Tea. The antioxidants stop your body from producing a major allergy trigger called "immunoglobulin E". (--pronounced immune-oh-glob-you-lin . . . or just IgE for short.)
--Black OR green tea is fine. Try to drink at least 24 ounces a day.
#4.) Wear Clothing That's All Cotton. The reason dust clings to your TV screen is because the screen builds up a static charge that pulls in dust particles while they're floating around in the air.
--Synthetic materials like polyester and nylon do the same thing when they rub against each other. Which means you could walk around outside for a few hours without touching anything . . . but still be COVERED in pollen.
--Cotton and linen attract about half as much.
#5.) Avoid Certain Foods. In PEAK allergy season, the proteins in some foods . . . including apples, carrots, zucchini, celery, and tomatoes . . . can make allergies even worse.
--It's called "cross-reactivity," and affects about one-third of people who have issues with pollen. If you don't WANT to give up those foods, just make sure you cook them. Heat breaks down the specific proteins that are responsible for it.

Another Car Crash
We're going to pass along a message here from Wade and Sonya Schenewolf of Easton, Pennsylvania. They are asking people for something TOTALLY reasonable . . . please stop CRASHING your cars into their HOUSE.
--Wade and Sonya have had THREE CARS crash through their house in the past SIX MONTHS . . . once in December, once in March, and once again on Tuesday. They also got hit a fourth time about a year-and-a-half ago.
--Their house is on a curve . . . and it's one of those curves where the "30 miles-per-hour" sign ISN'T for show. But we're all kinda trained to disregard those . . . and in this case, when people push the speed limit too far, they crash into the house.
--The driver on Tuesday was going 65 and was AIRBORNE when he hit their garage. He did about $40,000 in damage to the house AND totaled Sonya's car in the garage. She was told her car being there slowed him down and saved his life.
--The Schenewolfs have thought about putting a GIANT BOULDER in front of their house to protect it from drivers, but the city told them it would make them liable for anything that happened to someone who hit it.
