Mucus and Phlegm are effects of congestion in our body. The over production of Mucus however can wreak havoc on our bodies and it has been linked to all sorts of diseases including cancer.

Mucus can make breathing difficult. In turn, the congestion can make our systems oxygen deprived. When our bodies are starved of Oxygen, it is the perfect breeding ground for disease.

Did you know that there are certain foods that produce and eliminate Mucus? This infographic from live love fruit is extremely helpful and shows us that Dairy, Coffee, Alcohol, Eggs and Soy are just some of the main Mucus Offenders.

Red Meat, Wheat and Soy together with deep fried foods all contribute to a Mucus filled body. On the flip side, leafy greens, berries, pineapple, citrus fruit, turmeric, cauliflower, broccoli are just some of the foods that we should be leaning towards.

This Phlegm Color Chart from Stylecraze is very handy and shows us what the different colors of our Mucus mean.

Bronchitis and Pneumonia can also be rusty brown mucus. Black mucus can be as a result of smoking or a fungal infection.
