Nutrition and Good Nasal Health
The purpose of this article is to put a little context in the articles that have focused on having a healthy nose and healthy sinuses through nasal saline spray or nasal saline solution. The nose, after all, does not exist by itself. But being part of the body it can surely draw a lot of attention to itself when things aren’t going well.
The health of the nose is affected by many other things outside of the nose. I have found that nutrition is a major issue in having a healthy nose. The cells of your body are all affected by the nutrition to the body. It stands to reason that the cells of the nose are also affected by the nutrition to the body. So while I think using a nasal saline spray is important for nasal health, you can’t ignore these other issues.
So we agree then that the cells in your nose are affected by the nutrition in the body. It is surprising how many people with chronic nasal problems or chronic sinus problems do not think about this connection. They eat junky food that has the nutrition of garbage but don’t see the connection with their nasal problems.
There are a lot of nutrients that can be supplemented in addition to taking the time to eat better. By saying the word “supplement” I imply that the nutrient ought to be in the diet to start with. Unfortunately for many people who do supplement their diet with vitamins and other nutrients, there is often not much of these good nutrients present in the diet to start with. This is a recipe for failure. So even if you are using a good nasal saline solution on your nose every day you are undermining
There are many different nutrients— at least 50—- that are helpful in the health of the body—actually they are crucial to the body. All of these nutrients are very important and one cannot say which is most important. However more research has been done on some nutrients and so those nutrients get more attention. It would seem that these are more important that others, but they really aren’t— they are all important.
I would like to summarize now: many things affect the health of the nose. It’s easy to focus on the more direct things like a nasal saline solution, but probably nothing is as important as nutrition. So if you get your nutrition right, your nose will be much more healthy.
