Mucusless Eating – Immune System Health

Mucus free foods

The word “mucusless,” or mucus-free, refers to foods that are not pus or mucus-forming inside the human body. Mucus free foods digest without leaving behind a thick, viscous, slimy substance in the gastrointestinal tract. These foods are fat-free, starchless, fruits and vegetables.

Focussing on mucus free foods, is especially great for building your immune system, combating seasonal allergies and nasal congestion, and contributing to your weight loss plan.

Diet and Healing

Now, I’m not a big fan of “diets”, but the term “Mucus Free” was coined in the early 1900s by dietitian and healer – Prof. Arnold Ehret in his book the Mucusless Diet Healing System. The Mucusless Diet consists of raw and cooked fruits, starchless vegetables, and cooked or raw, mostly green-leafy vegetables. The Mucusless Diet as a Healing System is a combination of individually advised long and short-term fasts, using menus that progressively change to non-mucus-forming raw foods, and other therapies such as sun-bathing, exercise, colon irrigation, etc.

Ehret observes that the accumulation of un-eliminated waste materials by eating pus, mucus, and acid-forming foods, is the foundation of human illness.

The overeating of mucus, and acid-forming foods is a problem of epidemic proportions around the world! People do not realize how harmful mucus-forming foods are to their health and well-being. Few people know what foods are truly mucusless (mucus-free) and how vital they are in healing human illness and maintaining life.

Explore and experiment with mucus free foods, and live a happier, healthier life!

Re-cap

Consuming mucus-free foods minimizes the production of mucus in the body. Mucus-free foods are unprocessed and free from additives or artificial ingredients. Mucus-free foods typically include fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. 

It is important to note that individual dietary needs may vary, and consulting with a healthcare professional is recommended before ever making any significant changes to your diet.

It is always a good idea when changing any habits to give your body the time it needs to adjust. Consider having a few colon cleanses to help with that adjustment, and some liver flushing always helps too.
