The allergy pills you take could be the culprit
Medications do pose side effects for some people and an increased weight could be one of them. Even the doctors can’t figure out why, but histamines produced by your body to fight the allergens, curbs your appetite. This brings us to the conclusion that antihistamines in allergy pills cause you to eat more. A study conducted at Yale University proved that antihistamine consumption and obesity are directly related.
What do you need to do?
If you are one of those people who have seasonal allergy and can’t do without antihistamines, speak with your doctor to inquire about an alternative that could provide you relief without impacting your weight. There are nasal antihistamines, leukotriene inhibitors, nasal steroid sprays, allergy shots, but only your doctor can tell what will work best for you. Along with this, regular cleaning of the bedsheet, installing a HEPA filter, keeping your pet away from the bed can drive the allergens out.
