Be careful to not only consider what you eat, but how much you eat when planning meals.
Too much food (even if it's healthful food) is still too much food and too many calories. However, skipping meals or simply not eating is not a healthy way to cut extra calories out of your diet. In fact, long periods without eating actually cause the stomach to store away more food calories as fats, reserving that energy for when it is needed.


Individuals with a lot of phlegm including those who are quitting smoking and coughing can also find relief in onions. Typically the onion is cut into pieces to facilitate onion juice extraction which is then mixed with honey for a cough syrup. The actual preparation instructions include letting the syrup sit for up to five hours before consuming it twice per day.
