​Don't Get Stuck with Sticky Lungs

Do you have sticky lungs?

Seriously, no one has ever asked you that before? Hmmm, how about, are you dehydrated?
What if we told you they’re connected? That’s right, you’re essentially an adorable little houseplant because water + air = life.
​
Your respiratory health is greatly impacted by your water intake!💧
👍Drinking water helps to thin the mucus lining in your airways and lungs.
👎Dehydration can cause that mucus to thicken and get sticky.
🤧Sticky airways slow down overall respiration and makes you more susceptible to illness, allergies and other respiratory problems.
Picture
Not only that but;
💧Dehydration makes it difficult to clear out mucus.
When you don’t drink enough water, excessive mucus builds up causing you to cough. While not dangerous it sure is irritating and makes breathing difficult.

💧Dehydration can lead to chronic bronchitis.
Bronchitis is caused by inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the lungs, and involves the loss of copious amounts of water from the body. Those suffering with chronic bronchitis, most often deal with dehydration as well.

💧Dehydration can worsen allergies.
Dehydration causes some of the white cells to convert the amino acid histidine into histamine, which triggers allergic reactions. Once re-hydrated, these cells decrease their histamine production.

✨The moral of the story - drink more water!!✨
