Consume more foods that decrease mucus production, such as:
-garlic
-onions
-celery
-pickles
Avoid:
Coffee, caffeine, alcohol, and other stimulants. Caffeine constricts your blood vessels causing your body to work harder to get the blood flowing through the veins. There are blood vessels in your lungs and when you consume large amounts of caffeine those vessels also constrict, making it harder to breathe.
Eat more foods that contain digestive enzymes like pineapples and papayas.
Foods rich in antioxidants:
Eggplant
Apples
Berries
Beans
Grapes
Vitamins that boost the immune system :
Zinc: whole grains,seafood, fortified cereals
Yogurt is great for you because it contains probiotics, healthy bacteria that keep your intestinal tract in balance.
These are just a few things I've incorporated into my diet as of late. About two weeks after eating Greek yogurt every day, along with a water and 20 almonds, I've felt more energized and I also sleep better.
Please make sure you discuss any major changes in your diet with your nutritionist. Also, make note of any food allergies you have and be sure to avoid consuming them.
Later!
