Top 10 Foods that Cause Mucus (Avoid with Asthma and COPD)

What are the top 10 foods that cause mucus? Which foods can increase mucus production? Watch this video, especially if you have asthma or COPD!

➡️ Bread
Bread is a staple in many diets, which is why you may be saddened to hear that it can cause an increase in mucus production. One study found that bread consumption was linked to chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, which are growths inside the nose.

➡️ Processed Meat
Processed meat is made up of meat that has been treated in some way to preserve it or enhance its flavor. This includes bacon, ham, hot dogs, sausage, and lunch meat.

➡️ Sugar
It’s been well-documented that sugar is not something that should be included in a healthy diet. A study found a link between sugar consumption and increased mucus production.

The study looked at the effects of sugar on nasal mucus in healthy people and people with asthma. It found that both groups produced more mucus after eating sugar.

➡️ Milk
It’s no secret that milk is a good source of calcium and other nutrients. But milk has also been shown to cause mucus. A study found that drinking milk increased the production of mucus in the nose and throat.

➡️ Fast Food
It’s no secret that fast food is unhealthy. But many are surprised to hear that it can increase the production of mucus. A study found that eating fast food was linked with an increased risk of developing asthma.

➡️ Soda
Just like fast food, soda has also been linked with an increased risk of developing asthma and increased mucus production. The primary reason is that soda is loaded with sugar, and excess sugar has been known to cause inflammation.

➡️ Cheese
When we eat cheese and other dairy products, sometimes our bodies are unable to break down and absorb a property known as lactose. When this occurs, the body's natural reaction is to produce more mucus. This can even lead to other problems such as diarrhea, constipation, and nausea.

➡️ Eggs
Eggs are a common ingredient in many dishes and are a good source of protein and other nutrients. Some researchers believe that eggs can cause an increase in mucus production. One theory is that the properties in eggs can trigger the production of histamine, which in turn triggers the production of mucus in your body.

➡️ Corn
It's a popular food item in many cuisines around the world. While it may seem like a harmless ingredient, some researchers believe that it can cause an increase in mucus production. A study found that subjects who ate corn protein had increased mucus along with more sneezing, itching, and a runny nose.

➡️ Sodium
Most Americans are consuming far too much sodium in their diets. In fact, many of the common foods that we eat are packed with sodium, and that could be leading to an increase in the production of mucus. Sodium causes inflammation in the body, which can lead to swelling. This causes the production of mucus to increase as a natural defense mechanism.

it seems “Fasting” is the best option.

I had been dealing with exercise induced asthma for well over 10 years (I am 57). I could not run or do any activity that required cardio without an inhaler. I used to eat a lot of bread. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in between as a snack. Also cookies, cakes, donuts, etc etc. I cut all of that out, and my asthma disappeared. I no longer need to use an inhaler. I got rid of those foods not because of asthma, but just wanted to clean up my diet. I had no idea my asthma be gone. Now I can run as far and as long as I want without feeling like I did.

Two things to remember: 1) Nothing is "good" for you. 2) Something is going to kill you eventually. I'm in my 80s. I'm on my feet and I'm still working. I eat whatever I want to eat.

Sodium actually is used to decrease mucus, It is used in a nebulazer or a nettie pot and it's very effective at decreasing mucus.

I definitely agree on everything but one. If you are eating the right kind of salt in your diet. (Pink Himalayan Salt or Sea Salt) your body shouldn't become inflamed. This salt has 28 important minerals for your body. Unlike the regular man made cheap white salt. Plus salt actually helps thin mucus. And gargling warm salt water helps you recover from a sore throat.
Salt is actually good for Asthma. I was born with asthma and it's been a game changer for me.

You pretty much name everything that humans eat on this planet daily

I learned recently that massaging the back of my neck just below the base of the skull and each side of centre is very effective in draining my sinuses. Just a minute or two of massage has almost instant results, and I´ve noticed a general improvement in my airways.
Some of the foods mentioned I will avoid, and some reduce, thanks for a very clear and helpful video.

[Ninja_Cat]

Excellent information here!! Thank you 🙏 😊

[joybossa]

I am a Dr and I agree with you 100%. Thank you so much!

[johnmcnatty]

Well that just wipes 60-70% of my diet 😂

[ginalanning]

Thank you for this video. I've learned so much and have shared it with family and friends. We suffer from excess mucus. Drs have never discussed the possibility that it could be diet related. Thank you again

[deannaroutley]

Thankyou for the helpful information. Seems like I’ve been eating all the wrong foods and I do have mucus.

[congamike]

I appreciate the personality of the narrator coming through. Thanks!

My pneumonologist advice from September till the end of the cold/rainy season lots of vitamin C, tea, water, honey, zinc, D3, sun, citrus foods not on empty stomach, limit or no sugar, bread, dairy, no process food nor soda, eggs ok (7 per week in total), no nuts.

It worked no flu, or respiratory illnesses during cold/rainy season. The rest of the season I can ingest those foods but with a limit.
