Seven years ago I noticed I was getting really nasty allergies this time of year. I had never had allergies before. They got worse as I got older. My overall health did.

Two years ago I changed my diet and dramatically increased my exercise (keto and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu). I had no colds or allergies anymore. Well, that’s not entirely true. I realized that I had had a few colds. They started the way my colds always did but lasted less than a day instead of nearly a week like they used to. And the allergies are completely gone.

I caught my first cold two months ago. That was right after burying my step father (the stress of his death coupled with flying to see him when he went into the hospital and hugging on a lot of family I hadn’t seen in years weakened my immune system I guess)

So... diet and exercise worked for me.
