Mucus in the body

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the formation of mucus in the body is often linked to an imbalance in the body’s internal systems, particularly the Spleen, Lung, and Kidney energies. Some foods are thought to exacerbate the production of phlegm (mucus), which can lead to various health issues. Below are some foods associated with increased mucus production according to TCM principles:

Dairy products – milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. In TCM, dairy is considered to create dampness and phlegm in the body, particularly affecting the Spleen and Lungs. These foods are thought to weaken the digestive system, leading to the accumulation of mucus.

Sugary foods – sweets, sodas, baked goods. Excess sugar can create heat and dampness in the body, contributing to the formation of phlegm. TCM views sugar as a substance that can impair the Spleen’s ability to transform food into energy, leading to damp accumulation.

Fried and fatty foods – deep-fried items, fast food, and animal fats. These foods are considered to create internal heat and dampness, which can result in the buildup of phlegm, particularly affecting the Stomach and Spleen.

Gluten – wheat, rye, and barley. In TCM, gluten-rich grains are seen as causing dampness, which can contribute to the formation of phlegm, especially in people with weak digestive systems.

Processed foods – preservatives, additives, and chemicals found in processed foods can disrupt the balance of the body's internal systems, leading to the creation of excess dampness and phlegm.

Citrus and acidic foods – lemons, oranges, tomatoes. While they are beneficial for some, citrus fruits can be seen as "cooling" and may worsen phlegm production, particularly in individuals with existing lung or digestive weaknesses.

Starchy foods – bread, pasta, potatoes. In TCM, excessive consumption of starchy foods can contribute to dampness and phlegm, particularly in individuals who have a weakened Spleen energy.

In TCM, the balance of food and lifestyle is key to preventing the overproduction of phlegm and mucus. If you notice excessive mucus buildup, it’s recommended to consult a TCM practitioner to better understand your individual constitution and dietary needs.

When it comes to your health, taking care of your gut is more than just avoiding the occasional discomfort—it's about laying the foundation for overall well-being.

Simple Steps to Support a Healthy Gut

The great news is that you can take action right now to help your gut bacteria flourish and maintain that balance. Here are some practical, science-backed strategies that you can easily incorporate into your daily routine:

1. Improve Sleep Quality:�Quality sleep is essential for gut health. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night. Establish a regular sleep schedule, wind down with a calming bedtime routine, and keep your bedroom cool, dark, and quiet. When you prioritize sleep, your gut—and your overall health—will thank you.

2. Stay Hydrated:�Proper hydration supports the mucosal lining of your intestines and helps maintain a healthy balance of good bacteria. Make it a habit to sip on water throughout the day. Avoid sugary drinks and excessive alcohol, as they can disrupt your gut health. Keeping that water bottle handy is one of the easiest ways to support your gut.

3. Manage Stress Levels:�Stress can wreak havoc on your gut. Practice time management, set realistic goals, and take breaks when needed to keep stress in check. Techniques like mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, and yoga can also help reduce stress and support a healthy gut.

4. Choose Gut-Friendly Foods:�Your diet has a significant impact on your gut health. Increase your intake of fiber-rich foods like leafy greens, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Incorporate fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi to boost the number of beneficial bacteria in your gut. And don't forget to cut back on sugar and artificial sweeteners, which can promote the growth of harmful bacteria.

5. Stay Active:�Regular physical activity supports gut health by improving digestion and reducing inflammation. Activities like walking, yoga, strength training, and aerobic exercises can all contribute to a healthier gut environment.
