Avoid mucus forming foods such as fried foods, meat and dairy products. Foods that help loosen mucus include spicy foods, hot chili peppers and horse radish are effective at loosening mucus. Drink plenty of warm liquids such as herbal teas to moisten the airways and break up mucus. Using a vaporiser or humidifier at night will help thin mucus (I use a vaporiser, both are good).
Usually, cells will take between 5 and 6 hours to complete S phase. G2 is shorter, lasting only 3 to 4 hours in most cells. In sum, then, interphase generally takes between 18 and 20 hours. Mitosis, during which the cell makes preparations for and completes cell division only takes about 2 hours.2 is shorter, lasting only 3 to 4 hours in most cells.

In most eukaryotic cells, mitosis takes about 80 minutes. This varies between kingdoms, but is usually in the range of one to two hours. For most cells, the length of the cell cycle is determined by the amount of time spent in the growth phases, G1 and G 2, with M-phase (mitosis) and S-phase (DNA replication) varying insignificantly.
