Content: Drinking chicken soup is an excellent way to break up congestion, and while we are talking about congestion, we must not forget that what may seem as a simple cough congestion, can turn into some serious Bronchitis and even Asthma. Another food you should eat when you have bronchitis is garlic, which has natural antiviral and antibacterial qualities. High intakes of fats and sugars should be avoided because they tend to displace more nourishing foods that contain the micronutrients needed to support the immune system. Too much alcohol or coffee will also inhibit the immune system since, to cleanse their toxins from the blood, the liver has to draw on extra micronutrients, thus depleting the body’s reserves. Stay away from dairy products. They are mucus producing and may aggravate your condition. The immune system can be damaged by exposure to heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. It is therefore important to avoid food which may come from areas affected by traffic pollution. Foods that are high in cadmium include commercially produced mushrooms grown in manure, kidneys from mature animals, and shellfish caught in waters that have been exposed to industrial pollution.
