10 October at 18:43 from atlas
Quercetin-containing foods can be a natural way to help reduce the severity of allergic reactions.
Quercetin is a flavonoid that exerts anti-allergenic effects by inhibiting histamine which is a compound produced by the body during an allergic response.
Good food sources of quercetin include: apples, berries, grapefruit, onions, cabbage and buckwheat.
Bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapples, can assist absorption of quercetin, therefore it may be beneficial to eat pineapple at the same time as a quercetin-rich food to improve it's anti-allergenic effects.
