Can You Catch Obesity?

A recent study conducted by taste and hearing experts at the University of Florida College of Dentistry suggests that People with a serious history of childhood ear infections appear to be about 70 percent more likely to be obese than those with no history of middle ear infections.

The majority of infection-causing bacteria enter the body through the nose -- often attaching themselves to nasal tissue in the upper respiratory tract and Eustachian tubes causing sinus and ear infections.

 Keeping the nasal passages clean and hydrated with Xlear Saline Nasal Spray with Xylitol can enhance the body's natural cleansing processes and help to flush out harmful pollutants and bacteria.

 The published study by the University of Florida indicated that chronic ear infections may damage a vital taste-sensing nerve in kids, which may influence the types and amount of foods they like to eat, particularly sweet and fattening foods, 

The researchers went as far to say that 'without question those with otitis media weighed more than those without.

Keeping the nasal passage clean has never been more important.

 The University of Connecticut study concluded that people with taste nerve damage preferred sweets and high-fat foods. The University of Minnesota scientists found that ear infections that require tubes can lead to higher body mass index in toddlers, while NIDCD research discovered that children who were treated for ear infections by having their tonsils removed were at a greater risk of being overweight.

 We have learned a lot about ear infections over the past several years as issues of anti-biotic resistance and now connections to obesity are raising awareness for the health problem. It is important that parents consider all options available to help their children avoid suffering from ear infections and any possible future health issues. Tens of thousands of people around the world trust Xlear Nasal Spray as an all natural complement to their other health practices."
