Drinking enough water not only helps clean all that, but it also keeps your respiratory tissues moist and less irritated, which speeds up healing. For adults, the ideal amount is 8 to 10 glasses per day, but you may need more if you're sick, sweating, or in a dry environment. Even better, go for warm or hot water. It works to loosen mucus, soothe your throat, and relax your airways. You can also sip on warm broths or herbal teas throughout the day for added benefits. Water. The foundation of healing.
