Preventing Allergies with Vitamin E

The antioxidant properties of vitamin E make it an important weapon against cancer and cardiovascular disease. Vitamin E also promotes normal blood clotting, helps reduce blood pressure, and promotes healthy skin and hair, along
with a variety of other functions.

The value of vitamin E may also extend
to the battle against allergy symptoms, according to the results of a recent study published in the British journal The Lancet. Data drawn from a random sample of 2,633 adults (18-70 years old) showed that increased intake of vitamin E reduced levels of the allergy-related antibody IgE. This relationship proved incremental, such that each one-milligram increase in vitamin E (up to a maximum of seven milligrams) corresponded with more than a five percent decrease in serum antibody levels.

Good sources of vitamin E include cold-pressed vegetable oils, dark-green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds and whole grains. So what are you waiting for? If you're an allergy sufferer, visit your local market today and get yourself some vitamin E!
