5. Weakened Immune System
The immune system plays a significant role in preventing infection and disease. Those people with impaired immune function are at a higher risk of developing viral, bacterial, or fungal infections.
Since over 70-percent of the immune system resides in the gut, you can strengthen its response by making changes to your diet. Toss out the refined carbohydrates like flour from your diet, and eliminate all sources of sugar. These foods create inflammation of the intestinal wall, resulting in systemic inflammation that spreads throughout the body. Replace these foods with whole grains and sprouts, and make sure you’re getting enough fiber in your diet to sweep the digestive tract clean of any undigested food particles.
Consuming natural supplements, such as Echinacea, will help to strengt5hen your immune system and help you avoid infection. In the case of sinusitis, the affected individual may notice that they start to experience fewer outbreaks of the condition when they alter their diet to increase the health of their immune system.
