"Bronchitis" is a respiratory condition defined by inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs. This inflammation causes persistent coughing, mucus production, chest discomfort, and wheezing. Acute bronchitis is usually viral, while chronic cases may result from long-term exposure to irritants like smoking. Rest, hydration, and, when needed, medications help reduce inflammation and ease breathing. Avoiding pollutants and supporting immunity can reduce risk and support respiratory health over time.

Things To Do

The dietary recommendations that support bronchitis recovery include:


  • consuming a whole-foods-based diet rich in vegetables, fruits, protein, and fatty acids. The variety of nutrients will support the functioning of the immune and respiratory systems.

  • adding extra garlic and onions to the diet.

  • foods rich in vitamin C, such as bell peppers, citrus fruits, tomatoes, etc.

  • anti-inflammatory foods and spices such as ginger, turmeric [curcumin], garlic, etc.

  • Whole foods rich in vitamin A, such as organ meats, eggs, leafy greens, etc.

  • protein-rich foods, such as poultry, legumes, nuts, seeds, etc.

  • grass-fed meats.

  • warm soups and broths.

  • foods high in antioxidants, such as berries, dark chocolate [watch out for sugar content! ], and walnuts.

  • stay hydrated. Drinking a lot of fluids [water, herbal teas] will help your body dilute and rid itself of mucus.


Other recommendations include:


  • a hot steam bath that will help loosen up the mucus. Repeat it every couple of hours for 15 minutes.

  • natural expectorants such as essential oils and other herbal extracts, including eucalyptus, thyme, basil, chamomile, fenugreek, and sandalwood. Use them as chest rubs, steam bath components, or diffuse them in the air.

  • making sure the humidity in your home is at an appropriate level. Use a humidifier if the air is too dry.

  • sleeping with a slightly raised head.

  • resting as much as your body requires. Make sure, though, not to lay in bed the whole day; change positions so as not to let the mucus build up too much in your lungs.

  • gargling with warm, salty water to soothe the throat.

  • ventilating your space frequently to let the air circulate.

  • making use of air purifiers.

Things To Avoid

Dietary don'ts for bronchitis include:


  • processed foods, junk food, and deep-fried foods.

  • sugar, sugary snacks, and candy.

  • alcohol, coffee, and caffeinated drinks.

  • mucous-forming foods, such as dairy products, white flour, and sweet fruit [e.g., bananas].

  • cold foods, cold beverages, and carbonated drinks.

  • simple carbohydrates.


Other don'ts include:


  • smoking and passive smoke inhalation.

  • lung-irritating chemicals [e.g., in cleaning supplies] and allergens [such as mold].

  • taking cough suppressants if your cough is productive.

  • excessive physical activity.

  • swallowing the mucus you cough up.

How Key Nutrients Support the Body

Amino Acids: Amino acids serve as the building blocks of proteins, crucial for muscle growth and repair. Additionally, they play key roles in maintaining proper pH levels, storing nitrogen, synthesizing hormones, and facilitating enzymatic reactions.


Antioxidants: Antioxidants protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular ailments. They safeguard DNA integrity, slow down aging processes, and support overall cellular health.


Enzymes and Coenzymes: Enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions, while coenzymes assist in these processes by binding temporarily to enzymes. Together, they regulate digestion, energy production, immune responses, and various metabolic pathways.


Fatty Acids: Fatty acids serve as energy sources, structural components of cell membranes, and precursors to signaling molecules. Essential fatty acids, like omega-3 and omega-6, play critical roles in brain function, cardiovascular health, and inflammation regulation.


Fruit Extracts: Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber, fruit extracts offer numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immune-boosting properties. They also support digestive health and contribute to overall well-being.


Herbal Extracts: Herbal extracts contain bioactive compounds with various medicinal properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects. They have been used traditionally to support digestion, immunity, and overall health.


Minerals: Minerals are essential for various physiological functions, including bone health, nerve transmission, and enzyme activity. They support overall health by ensuring proper cellular function and metabolic processes.


Probiotics: Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits when consumed. They support gut health, immune function, and oral hygiene by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting the growth of harmful pathogens.


Vitamins: Vitamins are essential micronutrients that play diverse roles in supporting cellular processes, immune function, and overall health. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation to ensure proper bodily function.
