5. Stay Well Hydrated
- Water keeps the mucosal lining of the lungs thin and functional
- Well-hydrated lungs can trap and expel pathogens and pollutants more effectively
- In dry climates like the UAE and Qatar, aim for 2.5–3.5 litres of water daily
- Avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol — both dehydrate and dry out mucous membranes
