December is the only month when virtually no trees pollinate anywhere
across the country. Now, the bad new: If you are sensitive to mold,
dust, smoke or strong scents, the holidays can be the absolute worst
time of the year.
The mold problem centers on the Christmas tree. Ever greens are heavily covered with mold. And these molds release a lot of spores when the tree comes into a warm house. A prefab Christmas- tree-in-box will solve the problem. But, unfortunately, it carries another allergen: dust. Dust is a top contributor which may be call “Christmas Decoration syndrome.” One result is that artificial trees and tree ornaments are usually are usually stored in the dustiest corner of the house. To cut the dust, wear a disposable particle filter that fits firmly around your face when handling those boxes. Open the boxes outside dust off the ornaments and hose down the tree, if possible. Then bring the dust-free decorations into the house.
Holiday scents, from wood hunting fireplaces, increase and hay-berry candles to the perfume and cigarette smoke of houseguests and partygoers are also major affronts to odor-sensitive asthmatics. Avoidance is of course, your best protection. If you are attending a holiday party, pretreat with a puff from a beta agonist inhaler. This will help you survive the scent assault for good two or three hours. If you wait until the attack starts before using an inhaler; you may control the symptoms but find that they return again that night, or even several nights in a row.
۞ Snuggle u
Do you want to warm up a house without hiking the thermostat? Invite some friends in. Eating and drinking aside, the mere presence of others in a room is bound to boost the temp by a couple of degrees. This is why some small mammals that are solitary in summer become social animals in the winter months.
In human terms, including with a loved one may do the job of a wooden blanket. It is no wonder that the holiday season, with all its social gatherings and huggable good times, is called “the warmest time of the year.”
۞ Cold as iron
Women who are especially sensitive to cold may benefit from beefing up their iron intake. Due to menstrual blood loss, women are more susceptible to iron deficiencies than men. And according to a recent study, even a mild deficiency can make it difficult to maintain normal body temperature.
۞ The slim not
With decorative nut crackers lining fireplace mantels, nuts have become popular edible at holiday snack time. In moderation, they provide mega nutrition. In excess, however, most deliver mega fat. There is one exception: chestnuts. With just 0.5 grams of fat they are by far the slimmer relatives of the nut family.
