Vegetables to Avoid When Coughing

Spinach

Spinach, which is usually known as a super vegetable because of its nutritional content, actually contains histamine.

The release of histamine can trigger allergic reactions in the body and increase mucus production. This can cause the cough with phlegm to become worse.

Broccoli

Broccoli, a nutrient-rich vegetable that is good for immunity, has high fiber content.

Fiber takes more time and energy to digest. When the body is trying to recover from a cough, foods that are easy to digest are a better choice.

Tomato

Tomatoes are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, but their acidic nature can worsen throat irritation. When your throat feels sore or irritated, consuming tomatoes can increase the discomfort.

Chilli

Although rich in vitamin C, chilies contain capsaicin which can irritate the nasal passages and throat. This can increase mucus production and make coughing worse.
