Sinus infections and inefficient digestion are related: Poor sinus function may result from a diet with little nutritional value, high sugar, and high yeast; or lowered immunities through prolonged or misdiagnosed use of antibiotics for previous illnesses. Antibiotics kill good bacteria along with the bad which inhibits both digestion and mucus functions. Good “gut” health is the key to healthy elimination. Probiotics are needed to re-populate the intestines for proper digestion.

The sinus mucus membranes need healthy, thin mucus to clear nasal passages of unwanted elements. Poor digestion may inhibit the body’s mucus membranes – including the bronchial tubes, and many bronchitis victims will tell you it started with a sinus infection. Probiotics leave less opportunity for bacteria and yeast fungus to cling to membrane walls. This can even help prevent ear infections which may accompany sinus or bronchial problems.

People are often told to eat “yogurt with active yeast cultures” during or after antibiotics (all other sources of sugar and yeast should be avoided because they thicken the mucus). But diet is not enough. Probiotics must be introduced to restore the body’s bacterial balance. You have probably heard words like “lactobacillus” and “acidophilus”. These are part of that balance.
