   Allergies are really just a big misunderstanding. They happen when a foreign material (say, pollen) is mistaken for something harmful. Your body thinks it's being attacked, so your immune system fights back with antibodies to kill the invader.

Here, you can learn how the ten readily-available foods featured on this list could help fight your seasonal allergies.
