INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hot liquids in general help to dissolve the mucus that causes chest congestion, but tea offers a double benefit by adding in helpful herbs and spices that can ease chest pain and congestion. Brew up a cup of peppermint, ginger, chamomile, or rosemary tea to drink 45 times a day. Add a bit of honey for sweetness and extra mucus-fighting power. Avoid caffeinated drinks like black tea, green tea, or coffee. Caffeine can actually stimulate mucus production and make your chest congestion worse. Certain foods can help clear mucus out of your chest. These foods encourage your body to expel mucous by irritating your nasal passages and causing them to secrete thin, watery mucous that's easily expelled and that takes other, thicker mucous along with it. Try upping your consumption of spicy foods, citrus fruits, garlic, onion, and ginger for easy chest congestion relief. Incorporate these foods into your lunch and dinner menu for 34 days for congestion relief. Some non-spicy foods have been shown to have chest-clearing benefits as well. These include licorice root, guava, ginseng, and pomegranate. Many of these spicy foods also have anti-inflammatory effects that could help with chest congestion, but these are only long-term effects and will take months to take hold. Drinking plenty of water is especially helpful in clearing out chest congestion, especially when the water is hot. Not drinking enough liquids will cause the mucus in your chest and throat to coagulate and thicken, making it stickier and harder to get rid of. Drink water throughout the day and with your meals to thin out the mucus in your body. There's no set number of glasses that people should drink during the day, since the amount you drink depends on many factors. Instead of counting glasses of water, just drink when you're thirsty. When you are sick, your body works hard to kill your infection and this can significantly deplete your body's stock of electrolytes without restoring them. Drinking sports drinks is an efficient way to get the electrolytes into your body. Drink the same amount of sports drinks as you would of water, and try to get at least one third of your daily liquid intake from electrolyte-rich beverages. This is also a smart move if you're someone who doesn't enjoy the taste of plain water. Drinking sports drinks will keep you hydrated, and many people prefer their taste. Look for sport-drink options that have low sugar or are caffeine-free. Dairy products (e.g., milk, butter, yogurt, and ice cream), salt, sugar, and fried foods all increase mucus production. Cut these items out of your diet until your chest has cleared. Do this just for the 34 days that you're experiencing chest congestion to help make breathing easier. Also avoid eating pasta, bananas, cabbage, and potatoes, as these foods can all trigger mucous production.

SUMMARY: Consume herbal tea and other hot non-caffeinated beverages. Eat spicy and foods like ginger and garlic to break up congestion. Keep your body hydrated by drinking water throughout the day. Drink sports drinks and juice to increase your electrolyte production. Cut fatty foods that increase mucous production out of your diet.
