Are you still suffering from Sinusitis ? Don't settle for living with it, get rid of it !

Sinusitis simply means inflammation of the sinuses, but this gives little indication of the misery and pain this condition can cause.

Symptoms of sinusitis can include fever, weakness and tiredness, a cough that may be more severe at night, and runny nose or nasal congestion.

• In addition, drainage of mucus from the sinuses down the back of the throat (postnasal drip) can cause a sore throat.
  
  However, by eating a few foods and herbs containing certain vitamin groups, we can lessen our chances of becoming afflicted with this painful and bothersome malady.

• Citrus fruits
• Red berries
• Tomatoes
• Potatoes
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Brussels sprouts
• Red and green bell peppers
• Cabbage
• spinach

Those foods are all excellent dietary sources of vitamin C, which helps promote a healthy immune system.

The B-complex vitamins are actually a group of eight vitamins, which include thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3) and folic acid (B9), and are essential for a healthy nervous system, processing carbohydrates for energy, and the creation of red blood cells.

• Beans
• Whole grain cereals
• Oatmeal
• Potatoes
• Salmon
• Bananas
• Spinach

Those foods are only a few of the many food members of the vitamin B group with high levels of this group of nutrients.

Vegetable oils, nuts, green leafy vegetables, and fortified cereals are common food sources of vitamin E, an antioxidant that acts to protect your cells against the effects of free radicals, which are potentially damaging by-products of energy metabolism.

Free radicals can damage cells and may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Vitamin E has also been shown to play a positive role in immune function.

A person susceptible to sinus disorders, particularly one who also is allergic, should avoid cigarette smoke and other air pollutants.

Inflammation in the nose caused by allergies predisposes a patient to a strong reaction to all irritants.

Drinking alcohol also causes the nasal-sinus membranes to swell.
Try to avoid too many dairy products when you can , as they stimulate your body to produce more mucus.
