the dietician suggested me not to have palak juice as i m having sinus problem .i dont understand the reason for not having palak does it increase pitta and Kapha in body?

Dear Moxa If a person is suffering from Sinusitis, he/she is recommended to take fresh green leaf vegetables, like lettuces, spinach, celery and others like garlic, ginger, onion, pineapple,nuts, etc. However, Spinach is known to increase Pitta and not Kapha.
Vegies which are known to increase Kapha are : juicy vegetables like, cucumbers, pumpkin family, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, etc. And if you are suffering from Sinusitis, then you should avoid the food that increases Kapha, like - apples, apricots, pears, pomegranates, etc.
