Foods That Help Heal Sinusitis

Foods That Help Heal Sinusitis

Expert Author Rachy A Marifosque
It's never a pleasant experience when a sinus infection attacks and brings with it the accompanying cough, congestion, fatigue and headaches. Sinus infections can even result in a 102.2 Fahrenheit fever, really bad swelling in the face or pain that would sometimes necessitate a trip to the doctor. But people who're lucky enough to have a relatively light sinus attack can use a sinus home remedy to get over the infection. Some of these simple remedies are using humidifiers and nasal salines, drinking lots of fluids and eating certain foods. Studies have shown that increasing the consumption of certain foods can help prevent sinusitis, or at least minimize its symptoms.
• Fruits and Veggies
One often overlooked sinus treatment is the consumption of colorful fruits and vegetables. These produce are often rich with quercetin, a pigment that's responsible for the vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables. It also is an antihistamine which, when combined with bromelain, makes it a very effective sinusitis remedy. To get your more than daily dose of quercetin, eat lots of apples, apricots, beets, berries, citrus fruits, cherries, celery, peaches, pears, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussel sprouts, leafy greens like spinach and kale, onions and peppers. Since juicing is all the rage these days, try combining celery and grapefruit juice; apple and watercress with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar; or carrot juice and coconut milk.
• Garlic
This bulb, which is a staple in kitchens and most dishes, can significantly enhance a body's capability to fight a sinus infection. This delicious bulb has both antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. Plus, it's so easy to increase a body's garlic intake. One can simply add them to soups and other dishes. Garlic also makes for good steam therapy. Just add it to boiling water and inhale the steam.
• Omega-3 rich food
If you suffer from sinusitis, it's important that you include eggs, fish and nuts to your diet. These omega-3 rich foods can reduce the congestion and swelling of the sinus. Try to eat more anchovies, salmon, sardines, pecans and walnuts. You can also take supplements like cod oil or flax seed oil to make sure that you're getting your daily dose of omega-3.
• Pineapple
Pineapples are rich with the enzyme bromelain, which studies have shown to alleviate the symptoms of sinusitis. Bromelain's anti-inflammatory properties help reduce the inflammation and swelling of the nasal passages.
• Yogurt
Yogurt has probiotic lactobacillus, which is a friendly bacteria that can help lessen the chances of a person developing allergies that might lead to sinusitis.
There's a wide array of sinus treatment available to people these days. These common and often overlooked foods are already a staple in most kitchens so it would be foolish to just dismiss them. It's better and more affordable to integrate these products with the sinus remedy that one is using.
