nose problems
Along with an increase in asthma and catarrhal buildups as an allergic
response to our diets and environmental pollution, blocked noses are also
on the increase, often causing long-term and deep-rooted infections.
External pollutants like benzine from car exhaust, chlorine gases from
swimming, paints, and many others can lead to mucus production
becoming extreme. Blocked nasal passages are often inevitable. Also look
to a weakened digestive system caused by lack of enzymes and gut f ora
imbalances as a factor.
-
Ensure that your diet is free from junk foods and mucus-producing
foods, especially carbonated drinks, sugar, wheat, or dairy prod-
ucts— see chapter 4 for details.

bonated drinks, sweets, and cakes. Drink plenty of water.
-
Drink juices and eat light foods— rice, steamed vegetables.
