Eat Light When Fighting a Cold
Fasting or light eating is
sometimes recommended when you have a cold, so as not
to detract from the body's healing by having to digest
heavy foods. When you're under the weather, eat light
so that your body can focus on healing and getting better.
Think Zinc
The zinc lozenge method may
work by directly killing viruses in the throat rather
than improving the nutritional status of the body.
Natural Remedies for Cold and
Flu
The best remedy for the cold
and flu is to practice preventative measures like washing
your hands frequently with soap and washing your face
at least twice a day. Also, avoid drafts and air-conditioning
and protect your upper back and neck area.
At the first sign of a cold attack, drink scallion and
ginger tea and lots of liquids. It is also helpful to
inhale eucalyptus, oregano, and lavender teas, which are
antibacterial, antiviral, and decongesting.
