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.

Many cells in one stage of mitosis means that that stage takes a long time to complete. During interphase the nucleus of the cell is intact. This phase takes about 80 percent of the time required to complete the cell cycle. During cell division, the nucleus disappears after prophase.
