\n

\ud83e\udec1 This is how your respiratory system works in secret<\/h2>\n

The bronchi and alveoli are lined with a moist mucous membrane, on which tiny cilia tirelessly transport mucus, along with trapped dust and pathogens, to the outside. This self-cleaning mechanism operates around the clock and is the most important protective barrier of the respiratory tract.<\/p>\n

If the mucous membrane is chronically irritated \u2013 by infections, dry air, smoke, or environmental pollution \u2013 the mucus thickens, the cilia work more slowly, and pathogens can more easily take hold. At the same time, the airways narrow due to the inflammatory reaction, which explains the typical shortness of breath and dry cough associated with lung problems.<\/p>\n

The next section shows how mucous membranes and airways can be specifically relieved through diet throughout the day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
