Today we’re going to talk about mucus and how amazing mucus really is. Your mucus is actually a very important part of your body.

The body makes between 1 and 1.5 liters of mucus per day. The mucus sits on mucus membranes covering the inside of your body. The mucus membrane is a part of the immune system. Friendly bacteria live in the mucus, and immune cells live in the mucus.

The mucus membrane and the mucus on top of it line the:

• Sinuses

• Mouth

• Throat

• Lungs

• Stomach

• Intestines

• Kidneys

• Urogenital

What does mucus do?

• It acts as a lubricant

• It’s antimicrobial

• It has good bacteria

• It acts like a flytrap for harmful microbes

• It has antibodies

• It acts as a barrier to keep pathogens out

How to thin mucus build-up:

1. NAC

2. Vitamin A

3. Vitamin D

0:49.6	disgusting topic but I think it's underrated, I think it's not emphasized enough.

0:57.9	You make between one and one and a half leaders of mucus every single day.

2:04.8	The good bacteria that you have are friendly.
2:07.6	They exchange with you. They give you compounds that are very beneficial,
2:12.2	but these pathogens don't.
2:13.7	All they do is they take your nutrients, they create destruction,
