Mucus is a natural waste product of the human body, which normally has a transparent color and viscous consistency. It is continuously produced by cells and helps maintain the functioning of the body’s defenses, remove harmful substances and dust, and protect organs from various damages.
Often, cellular structures secrete secretions in excess quantities, the color of the mucus and consistency change, and too many pathogenic bacteria accumulate in it. In such cases, it is necessary to help the body get rid of harmful excesses.
Causes of excess mucus concentration
Most often, a sharp increase in mucus occurs when:
- Weakened immunity.
- Smoking, alcohol abuse.
- Chronic inflammatory processes.
- If your daily diet consists mainly of boiled or fatty fried foods.
As soon as an excess amount of mucus accumulates, and this happens in the bronchi, lungs and stomach, the body begins to intensively get rid of it. Often young mothers complain about constant colds in their young children. But the usual reason for this is to get rid of excess secretions that come out through the baby's nasal passages. In children, the body itself copes with excess harmful foods.
Another thing is the body of an adult. People perceive a runny nose, fever, sore throat and sneezing as the onset of a disease, rather than the functioning of the immune system, which is what it actually is. And they begin to intensively “help” the body. They lower the temperature, pour drops into the nose, take tons of different pills and achieve their goal - the body stops secreting mucus.
The runny nose and cough stop, the temperature becomes normal. And that’s it – is the person healthy? Nothing like this. Mucus with a huge amount of pathogenic bacteria and their decay products remains in the body - settled on the bronchi, remains in the lungs, stomach, intestines and quietly poisons the body, causing chronic diseases.
To stop poisoning yourself with decay products, you need to gently and carefully carry out detoxification - a cleansing process. You need to know that the body will react to this; there may be headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and rashes. This will serve as a sign that the cleansing process is successful.
What is mucus and why does the body need it?
Mucus is the main cause of excess weight, as well as many chronic diseases, so many are afraid of it. However, we forget how many benefits Mucus has and what an important role it plays in the human body.
These benefits only occur when mucus is in a healthy, balanced state. When there is not too much and not too little. When it is in relative balance with other regulatory systems. These are the benefits it provides to the body.
Healthy Lymphatic System
Lymph is in close relationship with mucus and is controlled by it. Mucus is generally responsible for all fluids in the body and, above all, for the functioning of the lymphatic system, for the quality of lymph and its movement.
To put it simply, healthy lymph means slender legs without swelling, a fresh face in the morning, pink lips, no bags and circles under the eyes, sparkle in the eyes, smooth, moderately moisturized skin without rashes.
Good dream
If Mucus accumulates, a person becomes drowsy and may sleep 10 hours a day and still feel lethargic and tired.
But if there is a normal amount of it in the body, a person sleeps well within 7-8 hours, wakes up alert and full of strength.
Healthy genitourinary system
When the disorder occurs, the genitourinary system is usually one of the first to be affected because mucus circulates in the kidneys, bladder and reproductive fluids.
However, if it is in a balanced state, the organs of this system will work like a clock.
You will not have cystitis, thrush, pyelonephritis, endometriosis, fibroids and other common diseases.
4. Sexuality and the ability to experience a full orgasm
Thanks to balanced Mucus, the body becomes soft and comfortable. The woman feels like a cat. Her body relaxes easily. It knows how to receive and give love, it wants to give and receive pleasure.
Fresh breath
Mucus is located on the walls of the stomach, crushes and mixes food from a solid state to a semi-liquid state. If your diet contains a lot of slimy or old foods and they are eaten at the wrong times and in the wrong combinations, stomach mucus will accumulate and become disordered.
Now she is no longer a friend, but an enemy, and begins to do harm. How? Digestion and all metabolic processes slow down, stool is disrupted, undigested food particles accumulate on the walls of the stomach and become the cause of halitosis - bad breath.
But this can be easily avoided if you eat right. With this diet, mucus returns to normal, mainly due to proper breakfast and dinner.
6. Normally functioning thyroid gland
Mucus is directly involved in digestion. And the gastrointestinal tract, in turn, participates in the processes of activation of hormones synthesized by the thyroid gland. Therefore, the health of the thyroid gland, by and large, depends on the health of the stomach.
Healthy joints
Thanks to its sticky quality and its lubricating properties, Mucus also ensures the proper functioning of joints. If a person does not eat properly and leads a sedentary lifestyle, stagnation of body fluids occurs, which leads to a decrease in digestive activity.
As a result, excess mucus forms in the stomach, which blocks blood and lymph channels. As a result, the volume of lymph in the joints is reduced, they lack nutrition, become stiff, and arthrosis forms.
How to get rid of mucus in the nasopharynx
Excessive accumulation of mucus provokes inflammatory diseases in the throat (ears, nose), allergies, and bronchial asthma. Often, excess mucus is manifested by a frequent runny nose, morning cough, and discomfort in the throat. People may experience phlegm, heartburn, and shortness of breath.
