"過敏季節的預防"

秋意漸涼，容易過敏跟感冒的季節又來了。由於秋天的日夜溫差大，很多有過敏性體質的人在這個季節特別容易發作。民眾到耳鼻喉科跟皮膚科求診的人數也多了兩三成。

其實秋天容易過敏，主要是因為冷熱變化過大，所以出門時最好帶一件薄外套。另外秋天的空氣較為乾燥，如果空氣品質不佳，飛揚的髒空氣也容易引發過敏。家裡最好準備一台空氣清淨機，隨身也準備口罩以備不時之需。

秋天也是適合養肺的季節，因此可以多吃一些白色的食物，像白蘿蔔、杏仁、白菜、梨子等，還有洋蔥、蒜頭、胡椒也是很好的食材。

(Health) Prevention of Seasonal Allergies

The arrival of autumn means allergy and flu season is here again. Since temperatures vary greatly from day to night during autumn, those who are prone to allergies can easily undergo allergic reactions.The number of people visiting ear, nose throat clinics as well as dermatology clinics also increases by 20-30 percent during this time of the year.

In fact, the main culprit behind autumn allergies is the dramatic change in temperature. For this reason, people are advised to bring a jacket with them when they go out.Additionally, the air during autumn tends to be drier. Therefore, if the air quality is poor, the pollutant particles are also likely to trigger allergies. It is recommended that you have an air purifier at home and carry a face mask with you in case of a rainy day.

Autumn is also a good time to strengthen your lungs. White foods such as white radish, almonds, Napa cabbage and pear, as well as ingredients such as onion, garlic and pepper are all highly recommended.
