Emphysema Relief From Red Pepper

If you suffer from emphysema or any other lung and mucus problem, red pepper is a great way to find relief. Red pepper is a great source of antioxidants that help protect lung tissue. It also thins mucus and allows the body to discharge the mucus through coughing. You may also find relief from other spicy foods such as ginger, mustard, and horseradish. Try adding them to your daily diet to reduce your discomfort. I have personally found that spicy foods also help me when I just feel a cold or sinus problem coming on. Spicy foods provide a quick relief from congestion and can help give a fever or the discomfort from a fever a positive boost.
