Granby Village Health Recommends Local Product to Help Fight Spring Allergies

You can almost feel it. The warm sun, fresh breezes, and the smell of blossoming flowers. Spring is almost here!

And with spring comes everyone's other favorite season — allergy season. But there are some simple things you can do to prepare for the down side of spring, according to Granby Village Health owner Lori Love.

"This is the time of year when people need to start being proactive before the allergy season," Love said.

Whereas there is no cure for the common cold or allergies, Love recommends adding a very specific local food to your diet. Honey.

When bees are busy collecting the nectar they need to make honey they are also collecting pollen, which aids the fertilization process for plants but can also make life unbearable for some of us humans.

Love said adding locally produced honey to your diet can help your body build up the proper immunity before the pollen actually starts blowing around.

Those interested in an additional immune system boost can also stop by for a nice glass of 'Dr. Oz' at Granby Village Health. Apples, parsley, kale, celery, cucumber, lemon, and lime juiced to perfection will give you a boost, Love said.
