1. Prevent the fluHumidifiers may reduce the risk of influenza, according to the authors of one study.When the flu virus was added to the air in a simulated fashion, the researchers found that particles that were more than 40 percent moist quickly became inactive, greatly reducing their infectivity.

2. Reduce coughingDry air causes a dry cough.Increased humidity in the air allows the respiratory tract to receive more moisture, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of cough.
