New Bacteria Could Unlock New Potential Treatments for Cystic Fibrosis

Stay very well hydrated

Most doctors recommend the average person drink around 8 cups of water per day. Cystic fibrosis patients should be following this recommendation religiously, and should exceed it whenever possible. The reason is because liquids (especially water) thin the mucus caused by cystic fibrosis. This is especially beneficial for the lungs, as the mucus buildup can lead to serious breathing problems.
