Have you started sneezing yet? Pollen counts have been rising in Massachusetts,   leaving many wheezing, sneezing, and dealing with itchy eyes. Recent research   and treatments offer new or surprising approaches to get some relief. Try the   following.

1. Using allergy drops under the tongue. These   could eventually replace allergy shots to desensitize people to grass or tree   allergies, since they were found in a recent review study to improve symptoms   more than standard allergy treatments. The treatment has been widely used in   Europe, but not here since it’s not yet approved by the US Food and Drug   Administration. If the FDA approves the treatment, it would be most helpful   for shot-adverse kids with one particular allergy to, say, fruit tree pollen   or ragweed.

2. Allergy-fighting foods. Research suggests that   certain foods rich in antioxidants or anti-inflammatory nutrients can lower   your chances of getting allergies. These include green tea and red foods such   as apples, red onions, grapes, and raspberries, which contain antioxidants and   natural antihistamines. Fatty fish such as salmon and tuna, which have high   amounts of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, can also help to dampen an   overactive immune system.

3. Exercise. Physical activity could relieve some   allergy symptoms by helping to maintain a properly functioning immune system—not   in hyperactive mode. An intense workout can also help unblock nasal passages,   at least temporarily. One caveat: Don’t exercise outdoors, especially when   pollen counts are high, since that can make allergies worse.

4. Acupuncture. The tiny-needle-under-the-skin   technique may help alleviate symptoms of seasonal allergies, according to a   February study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Twelve treatments   over eight weeks that stimulated specific pressure points worked better than   a sham needle treatment to relieve symptoms, but the German researchers emphasized   that the reduction in symptoms was modest.

5. Dripless nasal sprays. Prescription steroid   nasal sprays—which seasonal allergy sufferers take daily starting a month   or two before allergy season—have gotten easier to use with versions that   deliver a less drippy mist instead of a liquid, according to Blatman. Several   are now available as generics, including triamcinolone (Nasacort) and fluticasone   propionate (Flonase).

1. Interval training. You can do crunches all   day long, but you will never see that six-pack if it is buried under layers   of fat. To achieve a truly flat stomach, work in some cardiovascular exercise   between sit-ups, crunches, planks and other abdominal exercises. Try jumping   rope, running on a treadmill or even do jumping jacks for 30 seconds to one   minute between each set. You will shred fat while building a solid core.

2. Don’t skip meals. Skipping meals is an easy   way to earn a round waistline. When you skip meals, your body responds by raising   cortisol levels, increasing cravings and storing fat, especially in the abdomen.   Consuming small meals and snacks throughout the day can pacify cravings and   rev up your metabolism to prevent fat storage.

3. Skip the sweets. Sugar is the mortal enemy   of a flat tummy. Sugar causes unnecessary spikes, crashes of your blood sugar   levels and, when consumed in excess, gets stored as fat. If you crave sweets,   keep fruits like blueberries, raspberries and strawberries accessible to pacify   your sweet tooth.

4. Increase vitamin C. Vitamin C, found in abundance   in citrus fruits, broccoli, kale and bell peppers, can aid in keeping cortisol   levels under control. Plus, vitamin C is essential in the production of carnitine,   which the body uses to convert fat into energy.

5. Boost intake of healthy fats. Although you   should still moderate your intake, healthy fats like avocados, walnuts and olive   oil can improve satiety. These foods will also rev up your metabolism thanks   to high doses of omega-3.

6. Sleep. Statistically, when people get busy,   sleep moves down on the list of priorities. However, sleep is so important to   weight management and optimal health that you can’t afford to skimp on it. Multiple   studies have proven that too little or poor quality sleep leads to weight gain,   junk food cravings and increased risk of heart disease and diabetes. Getting   more sleep is an easy way to keep your body trim and healthy.

7. Relax. Cortisol is the stress hormone. When   you’re stressed, levels of cortisol rise. In cases of chronic stress, like tight   deadlines at work, financial crises, injury or illness, your cortisol levels   can reach extremes or impair the function of your adrenal system all together.   This can lead to weight gain or the inability to lose weight, decreased immunity   and increased levels of inflammation. Making time to relax and meditate each   day – even for only five minutes – can help you keep cortisol levels balanced.

1. You can be yourself when you're with him. You don't feel like you have to   change your quirky laugh or be less ambitious. You're not afraid to show how   smart you are because he truly loves you as you are. He fell in love with "who   you were when he met you" and continues to love those same traits as the relationship   progresses.

2. You like how you feel when you’re around him. You feel safe, secure, and   cared about because his attitude around you is consistent and dependable. You   also feel comfortable, relaxed and happy when you're with him because you have   learned .

3. He has introduced you to his friends and family. He wants to include you   in all parts of his life because he's proud of the relationship he has with   you. He's committed to making sure you feel included and this shows you that;   he doesn’t have anything to hide and he's serious about your relationship to   want everyone in his life to know you're together.

4. He makes it obvious your happiness and well-being are very important to   him. He listens and remembers when you tell him what makes you happy and goes   out of his way to accomplish it. He puts your needs in front of his.

5. He knows the difference between a conversation and a confrontation, between   compromise and contentiousness. This quality leaves room for a difference of   opinion without having an outburst or a sulk-fest. Compromise can take many   forms: a little of what you like, a little of what I like; this time your way,   next time my way; can we meet in the middle. However you phrase it, being willing   and able to converse and compromise is an important quality in a "keeper."
