How well protected are you against the common cold? Colds are a fact of life every winter, but your best defense may be right on your dinner plate. In fact, you can strengthen your immune system's infection-fighting ability by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and getting enough rest. Good nutrition is also essential for recovering from a cold, and you can reduce the duration of one and also decrease the aggravating side effects such as stuffy nose and sore throat simply by eating right. Here's how:
* Steamed mixed vegetables
* Mandarin orange sections
* Mixed green salad
* Avoid dairy products including cream based soups, ice cream, or milk as they increase the production of phlegm.
* Chicken noodle soup (or any non-dairy soup)
If your symptoms get worse after five or so days you could have strep throat, sinusitis, bronchitis, or some other bacterial infection, and you should see your doctor.
* Orange juice
· Fill up on a nutrient-rich healthy diet to build your immune system and fight inflammation during a cold.
· Consider a whole-food supplement such as Juice Plus to ensure you are receiving a wide range of antioxidants and phytonutrients that you may not be getting through your diet.
* Tomato Juice
* Chicken vegetable soup (or any non-dairy soup)
Breakfast
* Oatmeal (made with water) topped with mixed berries
Lunch
Dinner
* Applesauce
* Whole-wheat pasta with tomato sauce
· Drink plenty of cold and hot liquids. Water, caffeine-free tea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fruit juice, or broth based soups. When you have cold, liquids thin and loosen mucus and help get it moving out of your body. Also chicken soup (well, really any hot liquid) helps move viruses and germs out of the nose more quickly.
* Whole-grain toast
The Cold Menu
* Hot decaffeinated tea
The common cold is caused by any of a number of viruses that can involve the upper respiratory tract. As your body fights the attacking virus, you get the symptoms of a cold,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including nasal congestion, sneezing and sniffles.
* Avoid caffeine. The diuretic effect of caffeine in fluids like coffee, tea,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and soda drinks make them less helpful than water or decaffeinated beverages when you have a cold.
* Sliced Fruit
* Hot decaffeinated tea
* Hot decaffeinated tea
