00:00:03.081 --> 00:00:05.241 
3 foods that people with sinusitis should consider 

00:00:05.241 --> 00:00:06.421 
1. Bananas 

00:00:06.421 --> 00:00:10.661 
Bananas can worsen nasal congestion due
to irritating phlegm production. 

00:00:10.881 --> 00:00:13.761 
People with sinusitis should avoid
eating bananas in winter or before bed 

00:00:13.761 --> 00:00:16.401 
because they can easily cause sinusitis
and block the nasal cavity. 

00:00:17.121 --> 00:00:18.441 
2. Red meat 

00:00:18.441 --> 00:00:23.771 
Although it is a protein-rich food, red
meat can cause unwanted effects for 

00:00:23.771 --> 00:00:25.001 
people with sinusitis. 

00:00:25.561 --> 00:00:29.361 
The high protein content in this meat
easily stimulates the body to accumulate mucus, 

00:00:29.361 --> 00:00:33.641 
thereby increasing nasal congestion and
making inflammatory symptoms worse. 

00:00:34.481 --> 00:00:35.801 
3. Wine 

00:00:35.801 --> 00:00:40.656 
Using wine can make sinusitis symptoms
worse because the body releases 

00:00:40.656 --> 00:00:42.421 
histamine when absorbing alcohol. 

00:00:42.781 --> 00:00:47.061 
This leads to increased nasal congestion
and worsening sinusitis symptoms.
