For years I suffered the fate of hayfever whenever winter abated and the sun reared its head. For me, summer was filled with dread as I awaited the sniffly eyes, the runny nose and the sore throat. According to the advert, "reducing your consumption of saturated fat contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels", that would be the "normal" levels that firstly show no benefit in reducing cardiovascular events, and secondly the ones mentioned above that are simply a response to a toxin.
This morning I got asked about Hay Fever. Most of you know it doesn’t take much for me to wander in to other topics but I promise their is a link between hay fever and adrenal stress. My initial struggle with exhaustion happened at the end of my career riding bikes in world championships. It was a frustrating and debilitating problem which nobody could diagnose correctly.
