15 Items To Help Decrease Mucous Production.

During the colder seasons, we find that irritating phlegm that sits in the back of your throat become more and more tiresome to get rid of. It can be especially difficult for our little ones who don’t tolerate medications and new contraptions very well.

By reducing our body’s acidity levels, making our PH more alkaline, we can not only decrease the amount of mucous that our body produces, but a whole load more!

Mucous build-up not only puts our body’s organs at risk but leads to the development of diseases.

The “alkalizing diet” theory is based upon the fact that diseases can only exist in an acidic environment. Our body’s natural homeostasis works to keep our blood PH at 7.4, slightly alkaline. When our bodies become too acidic, they borrow alkaline minerals from other areas such as bone and fluids through the body. This places risk on certain areas of the body for the development of disease.

Increasing your body’s alkalinity will boost your overall health while reducing the risk for chronic diseases.

1. Spring water (pH 7.8-8.2)

Conclusion

By adding any of the above mentioned items to your diet, you will be assisting in bringing down your body's acidity levels. The optimal pH level for the body is 7.4, this slightly alkaline environment does not allow for the growth of disease. Thus protecting your body from chronic diseases, optimizing health and reducing mucous production in the process.
