With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I was just wondering does anyone know any good remedies to help and are there any ways i can prevent my hayfever coming back next year? I know hayfever dosent have to be something u have all your life, i know people who only had it one year then never again, and i only first had it last year as i mentioned. I was really unhealthy last year didnt exercise or eat well, so i probably had a bad immune system, but I've started exerciusing recently, so will it improve my immune system and thus help hayfever? Also id appreciate any more suggestions on beating it thanks:)

More likely the people who experienced it only once had a spring/summer cold. There are allergy meds out there designed to help reduce the symptoms of hayfever. Talk to you doctor or pharmacist about recommendations. E.

Sounds kinda a BS to me...but who knows. I use Allegra on occassion...maybe 2-3 months out of the year when my allergies kick up.
