Avoid or eliminate dairy products when you're congested.

According to Ayurveda, dairy products produce mucus in the body. Consuming dairy will compound your mucus problem. So, skip the cheese, yogurt, milk, ice cream, sour cream, bleu cheese dressing.

Stick with clear liquids, broths and fruit juices to thin out mucus. Consider adding dry, pungent spices to your meals to loosen and dry up mucus.
