10 trucs contre le nez qui coule

Votre nez coule sans cesse?

Avoir le nez qui coule n'est vraiment pas très agréable. Non seulement est-ce désagréable mais aussi très irritant pour notre pauvre nez, sans compter le look petit renne au nez rouge conféré par notre nez amoché. Voici comment faire pour arrêter un nez de couler et respirer le bon air sans avoir l'air d'un clown sorti tout droit d'une boîte à surprise.

1- Nettoyez le nez à l'eau saline

Comme il est possible que le nez qui coule soit dû à une infection, nettoyer le nez à l'aide d'une solution saline disponible en pharmacie ou faite maison, une partie d'eau bouillie refroidie pour une partie de sel, permettra de se débarrasser de l'infection et de mettre fin aux désagréments du nez qui coule. Cette astuce est aussi bien pratique pour déboucher complètement le nez ou du moins en parti!

2- Prenez un médicament antihistaminique

Si votre nez qui coule est causé par une allergie comme le rhume des foins, par exemple, privilégiez l'emploi d'un médicament antihistaminique comme le clotripolon afin de faire cesser cet écoulement passager.

3- Tournez-vous vers l'homéopathie

Les granules homéopathiques comme celles de l'allium cepa utilisées trois à quatre fois par jour freineront de façon massive l'écoulement nasal sans pour autant vous faire ingurgiter de produits chimiques.

4- Pourquoi pas la pommade d'homéoplasmine

Placer une quantité de la grosseur d'un petit pois de pommade d'homéoplasmine sous les narines le soir avant d'aller au lit vous permettra de mieux respirer pour la nuit et vous évitera de devoir vous lever périodiquement pour vous moucher.

5- Faites des inhalations

Quelques gouttes d'huile essentielle de thym, d'eucalyptus ou de romarin dans un bol d'eau chaude au-dessus duquel vous placerez votre tête recouverte d'une serviette et dont vous respirerez les inhalations débloqueront rapidement vos narines. Ne vous restera plus qu'à vous moucher et à mettre le nez qui coule en pause durant quelques heures.

6- Mettre un oignon sous son oreiller

Ne riez surtout pas, mettre un oignon coupé en morceaux sous son oreiller avant d'aller au lit, assèche le nez et met un stop raide au nez qui coule. À essayer en cas de désespoir.

7- Obtenez une prescription médicale pour traiter le nez qui coule

Si votre nez qui coule est dû à une condition médicale, voyez votre médecin qui vous prescrira la médication nécessaire au traitement de votre maladie et qui par conséquent, mettra fin à votre nez qui coule.

8- Utilisez du sérum physiologique

Le sérum physiologique est disponible sans ordonnance en pharmacie. Il a la même fonction qu'un lavement sans détruire la flore nasale. Il deviendra vite votre allié dans la lutte à l'écoulement nasal.

9- Essayez un médicament en vente libre

Il existe quelques médicaments en vente libre dans les pharmacies destinés à soulager les nez qui coulent notamment, Dristan. Utilisez selon la posologie afin de respirer aisément durant quelques heures. N'en abusez pas toutefois afin d'éviter tout effet rebond (nez bouché) indésirable.

10-  Consommez des comprimés de manganèse

À titre préventif, consommer des comprimés de manganèse aiderait à prévenir le syndrome du nez qui coule. À faire absolument en automne avant les fortes périodes grippales.

            10 Foods to Never Eat

Drop that spoon! Everyone deserves the occasional indulgence, but before you dig in there are a handful of foods you should steer clear of to avoid damaging effects on your body, skin, and waistline. Here, experts weigh in on 10 foods to push off your plate for good.

FrostingThat store-bought frosting from a tub might taste great on cakes and cookies, but it’s packed with problems. “It’s one of the only items in the grocery store that still has trans fats, which are terrible for your health and waistline,” says Melina Jampolis, MD, physician nutrition expert and coauthor of The Calendar Diet. “Trans fat raises bad cholesterol, lowers good cholesterol, and causes inflammation, which can lead to belly fat and diseases ranging from heart disease to diabetes.” On top of that, tub frosting is loaded with sugar, and high-sugar diets contribute to premature wrinkles. Yikes.

Bagels
If you’re prone to skin problems and tempted to grab a bagel before you go in the morning, think twice. “Bagels have a massively high glycemic index, which increases insulin and leads to increased inflammation in the body, which is shown to possibly accelerate aging and worsen acne and rosacea,” says dermatologist Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, codirector of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, DC. Opt for an English muffin with peanut butter instead.

Processed Baked GoodsSo convenient, so tasty (if we’re being honest here), but so not worth it. Those pre-packaged mini muffins, doughnuts, and dessert cakes will add tons of calories and loads of unwanted sugar to your diet, plus they aren’t easy to digest. “These foods are bad on so many levels, because they are filled with high sugar content and preservatives for a longer shelf-life — they can literally sit there forever,” says Dr. Tanzi. “Sugar increases inflammation in the skin, which on top of irritating acne and rosacea, can make you look puffy and bloated. Skip the wrapped stuff and grab fresh fruit for a sweet fix instead.

Soda
Dietitians and doctors all agree: Soda should be nixed from your diet completely. “One can of soda is like a can of water with 10 packets of sugar in it,” says nutritionist Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA, RD, CDN, and director and owner of BTD Nutrition Consultants, LLC. “The recommended amount of daily sugar for a woman is about six teaspoons or 24 grams, and soda has way more than that.” Good old fashion H2O is still your best option. If you want to jazz it up, add a slice of fresh fruit for flavor.

Sugary CerealA bowl of Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, or Cap’n Crunch might taste like nostalgia, but it’ll wreak some havoc with its high amount of inflammation-causing sugar and gluten content. “For some people with sensitive skin, gluten can exacerbate breakouts, leading to increased redness and, yes, more breakouts,” says Dr. Tanzi. Opt for low-sugar, gluten-free options like Rice Chex and Corn Flakes.

Stick Margarine
Choose a small amount of regular butter or soft spread over stick-shaped margarine when topping foods or baking, says Taub-Dix. “Margarine is usually loaded with trans fat,” she says. Don’t forget that stick margarine is found in plenty of pastries, crackers, snack foods, and even microwave popcorn, so limit intake to keep cholesterol levels in check.

Jarred Tomato Sauce
It’s easy to forget sources of sugar when you’re making recipes that aren’t traditionally considered sweet, but they do exist. Tomato sauce is a big culprit, says Dr. Tanzi. “Make your own, because the store stuff has a ton of sugar.”

Bacon
Noshing on bacon as a side for breakfast, as a topping for salads, or as an addition to your sandwich? Bad habit. “I know it’s only 45 calories a strip, but it is really high in fat, sodium, and the preservative sodium nitrate,” says Taub-Dix. Veggies or a few nuts are better options for a crunch, and won’t create such problems for your heart and digestive system. You’re better off avoiding it, but if you must have a little bacon? “Stick to half a strip to crumble on foods like salads and sandwiches,” Taub-Dix says.

Maraschino Cherries
This preserved fruit might turn up in your cocktail or on your sundae. Start choosing the real deal over sugar-packed, processed maraschino cherries. “These have artificial colors, like red-40 and red-3 dyes, that add no nutritional value,” says Taub-Dix.

Soy Sauce
Soy sauce is low in calories and has some good vitamins and minerals like riboflavin and vitamin B-6, but the extremely high sodium content will leave you bloated and at risk for conditions like hypertension. “There are so many low-sodium, lighter soy sauce options, there’s no reason to buy the regular stuff anymore,” says Taub-Dix. Yet she still recommends using the light stuff sparingly. “A tablespoon of the low-sodium soy sauce is about 600 milligrams of sodium instead of 900, so it is less but not none.”
