If you still don't feel satisfied after a meal, it could mean the meal wasn't nutritionally balanced. Ideally, each meal should provide protein, carbs, some fat and a mix of tastes and textures. There's been a lot of excitement surrounding zinc as a cold remedy. For volunteers in a study group, those who took zinc lozenges got over their sniffles about 3 days sooner than the placebo group. They also had fewer coughs, sore throats, headaches and congestion.
Zinc lozenges are available at health food and drug stores.
The only reported complaint was the unpleasant, metallic aftertaste they leave behind, so shop around for a brand that's easy to swallow.
