Islamabad - Balanced diet and use of aloe vera with empty stomach daily is the best prevention for the pollen allergy contraction as it boosts one’s immune system. One table spoon gel of aloe vera with empty stomach daily is the best prevention against pollen allergy, said doctor Syed Hasnain Ali Johar while taking to APP. | |||
He said that those having weak immune system are more likely to fell victim to pollen allergy. | |||
Dr Johar said that pollen allergy symptoms include sneezing and runny nose, itching and watering of eyes, coughing, and difficulty in breathing, wheezing and eventually attacks of asthma. | |||
In addition, there may be itching on the skin and sometimes gastro-intestinal problems, he added. He said that main plants causing, this allergy, are mulberry in March-April while cannabis in June-July. | |||
Replying to a question, he said pollen allergy is not infectious but a seasonal disease. | |||
He advised pollen allergy patients to avoid the spicy food and pulses, potatoes, cauliflower and banana adding that they must avoid soft drinks. | |||
He forbade use of perfumes, frequently going out in the evenings and suggested to wear face mask, use wet cloth for dusting, avoid the use of floor carpets, not to open the window of car, use vacuum cleaner instead of broom, use sun glasses in outdoor and apply fresh water in eyes and nose and avoid using hot water, are the measures which can control it to a limited extent.” | |||
He advised the use of any oil including mustard oil for oiling the inner nostrils with finger as the best remedy to prevent pollen allergy. | |||
Director General Pakistan Meteorological Department Ghulam Rasool said that average Pollen Count for Islamabad today is 27. | |||

Red meat compound linked to worse outcomes in heart failure patients: Study | |||
A new study finds that worse outcomes in patients with acute heart failure are linked to higher levels of TMAO - the major source of which is thought to be L-carnitine, a compound that is metabolized by gut bacteria during the digestion of red meat. | |||
Previous studies have linked TMAO (trimethylamine N-oxide) with higher risk of death in chronic heart failure, note the researchers, but their study appears to be the first to find such a link in patients with acute heart failure. | |||
The results showed that acute heart failure patients who had higher levels of TMAO at the start of the period were the ones most likely to die or be rehospitalized with heart failure in the following 12 months. | |||
Prof Suzuki said, “Higher levels of TMAO, a metabolite of carnitine derived from red meat, is associated with poorer outcomes associated with acute heart failure, one of the main diseases of the heart. This metabolic pathway provides a possible link between how red meat is associated with heart disease.” | |||
Red meat is not the only dietary source of carnitine - for example, milk, cheese, whole-wheat products and asparagus also contain it, but in much smaller concentrations. It is also a common ingredient of energy drinks. | |||
Some research suggests the effect of bacteria metabolizing carnitine into TMAO and influencing heart risk appears to be more pronounced in people who consume meat than in vegans or vegetarians. But it is early days, and the implications of these findings are not well understood and require more research. | |||
