Cold and Flu Remedy - Best
Why
does chicken soup make us feel better when we're sick? From the medicinal properties of vegetables
to the antioxidants in chicken fat, each ingredient in chicken soup appears to
have anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce mucous production, according
to a study published in Chest Pain.
Also, hot liquids in general help break up mucous and relieve
congestion.
Runner
up to chicken soup is garlic. If
consumed regularly, garlic may also help prevent colds year-round thanks to the
antibacterial properties of a compound called allicin, which can not only keep
us from getting sick but also recover faster if infected, according to research
published by the National Institute of Health.
To truly reap the benefits of fresh garlic, crush it at room temperature
and let it sit for approximately 15 minutes before cooking.
Cold and Flu Remedy- Worst
While
vitamin C has many wonderful health benefits, like helping the body hear wounds
and preventing scurvy, unless it's taken regularly, no research has proven that
vitamin C actually prevents or lessens the severity of a cold, according to
National Institute of Health.
