Chicken soup has to be at the top of the list. Hot chicken soup helps clear clogged airways, and the nourishing broth will give you more energy. Add plenty of vegetables, including onion and garlic, for extra healing power.
Cook a vegetable soup to boost your immune system. Boil lightly a colourful range of different vegetables with garlic and a teaspoon of black pepper. Toss in a couple of tomatoes for a good measure of Vitamin C.
Take in proper quantity of vitamin C in your diet. Reach for citrus fruits to increase your vitamin C intake. Drink orange juice for breakfast, have grapefruit, pineapple and strawberries whenever you are hungry.
Hot and spicy food also does the trick. Cook ethnic foods that contain garlic, peppers and hot sauce to help break up congestion.
Ginger also is also effective in protecting you against colds and the flu. Try making a ginger tea: Pour a cup of boiling water over 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger; let steep 5-10 minutes.
Garlic is the best home remedy to keep cold and flu away. Add garlic liberally to your favorite foods, or even chew a raw clove or two.
Stay hydrated with plenty of liquids. Instead of coffee, soda or sweetened beverages drink plenty of water and pure fruit juices. Hot beverages work better for some people; try tea, hot water mixed with lemon or even hot lemonade.
