Allergic Rhinitis (AR) is not a stranger to many Filipino households. The general population’s living
conditions, our climate, and pollution go together in contributing to the prevalence of AR in the
country.
One study shows that house dust mites (HDM) are the most common indoor allergens for
Filipinos. Dust mites are tiny bugs lurking in our homes that can be found in dust from our
carpets, furniture, beddings and even stuffed toys. While these creatures are everywhere, they
are more likely to be around in places with hot and humid climates like the Philippines. With that
said, the allergic reactions to HDM in highly urbanized Metro Manila is reported to be 85%.
Many houses in the country are also home to pesky cockroaches which could trigger AR too. In
fact, cockroaches also top the list of sensitizing indoor allergens for Filipinos.
Meanwhile, grass is the most common outdoor allergen in the country. Allergies to grass are
very common and one example is AR. Grass pollens are harmless airborne substances, but they
can trigger allergic reactions when our immune system mistakes them as a threat.
These common allergens in the country will always be everywhere to trigger our Allergic Rhinitis. That is why it is time to manage our AR by keeping our immune system balanced. CM-Glucan is a natural immunomodulator that can help in reducing the severity and recurrence of health conditions associated with having an imbalanced immune system.
Immunomax is a food supplement made with pure CM-Glucan. It is available over the counter in leading drug stores nationwide.
Balance is key when it comes to taking care of our children’s immune system at home. To keep your children’s defense strong against threats these days, it is important to put fun and health together in improving their health.
It is every human’s instinct to protect its own. From the second you were born, you were cradled and protected by your mother. And as you grew, so did your immune system, your body’s natural defense.
