  • Drink plenty of fluids every day to thin mucus and make coughing easier.
  • Consume complex carbohydrates such as lentils, beans, barley, oats, quinoa, bran, peas, and potatoes with skin.
  • Limit or avoid caffeinated beverages such as tea, coffee, soda, and energy drinks such as Red Bull.
  • Consume protein-rich foods like meat, fish (especially salmon, sardines, and mackerel), eggs, and poultry.
