The recommended food to eat while in the cold are:
- Garlic - The antibacterial effects of garlic have been investigated for decades. Sulfur compounds are activated when garlic is chopped, chewed, or crushed (giving off that distinctive garlic smell). These have been demonstrated to support some types of white blood cells' disease-fighting response, assisting them in their fight against viruses and relieving cold symptoms.
- Tea - Warm liquids can help release mucus and soothe irritated throats. Choose decaffeinated tea instead of regular tea.
- Non-fat Greek Yogurt - Probiotic-rich diets can decrease the risk of acquiring a cold and speed recovery.
- Blueberries - Blueberries contain a flavonoid that is anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties that can reduce cell damage and improve immunological performance.
- Chicken Soup - Chicken soup has been used for a very long time to treat the common cold, and there are some significant benefits. The electrolytes (sodium) in the soup helps stay hydrated and relieve a sore throat, while the warm broth can help clear out congestion.
