Cure your cold naturally

You can hear it everywhere—the coughs, the sneezes, the sniffles. Don’t let it happen to you! And if it does, stop that cold or flu in its tracks the natural way. Vitamin C is still tried and true for boosting your immune system and shortening the lifespan of a cold. The best way to get your C is by eating it, and citrus fruits, leafy greens and bell peppers are great sources. Honey has natural antiviral and antimicrobial properties, and it suppresses coughs, so put that sweet sauce in your tea or just take a spoonful. And the benefits of chicken soup are real! Hot liquids reduce mucus buildup and keep you hydrated, and chicken soup has anti-inflammatory properties. Make sure to get your probiotics, too, as they keep your gut and immune system healthy and can reduce your chance of getting sick in the first place.
