7 Healing Foods to fight common cold.

1. Chicken soup
why: It’s been called nature’s penicillin and is at the top of the list for its curative powers. Hot chicken soup helps clear clogged airways,

2. Hot and spicy food
Chilies or spicy sauces to help ease congestion. Cook Indian or other ethnic foods that contain these ingredients, or simply add a spicy sauce to foods for extra zip

3. Garlic
This fragrant bulb contains a flavoring agent called alliin which acts as a decongestant. Garlic is also believed to act as an antioxidant and destroy free-radicals, the active oxygen molecules that damage cells

4. Fluids
To keep you liquefied.

5. Citrus fruits
Reach for citrus fruits to increase your vitamin C intake. Drink orange juice for breakfast, snack on half a grapefruit, or add tangerine slices to a lunchtime salad. Getting an increased amount of vitamin C is especially important if you smoke, as smoking increases both your risk of catching a cold and your body's need for this protective vitamin.

6. Ginger
Many people find fresh ginger root helps treat the coughing and fever that often accompany colds and flu. Try making a ginger tea

7. Vitamin C sources
Citrus fruits aren't the only foods high in vitamin C. Potatoes, green peppers, strawberries and pineapple can help as your daily cold-fighting food arsenal.

●► Reasons to Drink Lemon Water Daily :-
An unsweetened glass of warm lemon or lime water first thing in the morning is surprisingly helpful in several ways. This Yogic or Ayurvedic ritual is primarily for stimulating digestion and eliminating ama, the Ayurvedic term for toxic slime that builds up in the gastro intestinal tract and sometimes coats your tongue. But that's not all. This ritual has many more health benefits for us in our world today.

● Reasons Why :-
1. Warm lemon or lime water helps purify and stimulate the liver. Lemon/lime water liquifies bile while inhibiting excess bile flow.

2. Warm lemon/lime water aids digestion. It's atomic composition is similar to saliva and the hydrochloric acid of digestive juices.

3. The liver produces more enzymes in response to lemon/lime water than any other food, according to A.F. Beddoe, author of Biological Ionization as Applied to Human Nutrition.

4. Lemon/lime water helps bowels eliminate naturally and easily.

5. Lemons and limes are high in potassium. Potassium is an important mineral that works with sodium for smooth electrical transmission in the brain and nervous system. Depression, anxiety, fogginess, and forgetfulness can often be traced to low potassium blood levels. That same nervous system needs potassium to assure steady signals to the heart, so heart health is improved from drinking lemon/lime water.

6. Calcium and magnesium are plentiful and in good ratio to each other in lemon/lime water. Rickets, a disease faded out years ago but now making a comeback, is prevented by this daily ritual.

7. Lemon/lime water can help lower blood pressure.

8. Lemon/lime water has an alkalizing effect as it is buffered in the body. Even if you drink it at room temperature just before any meal, it will help your body maintain a higher pH. The higher or more alkaline your pH, the more resistant you are to minor and major disease.

9. Drinking lemon/lime water helps dilute uric acid, which creates arthritic pain or gout when it accumulates.

10. Lemon/lime water educes phlegm in the body.

● Instructions :-
1. Warm purified fluoride free water or spring water should be used. At least a half of a lemon or lime should be thoroughly squeezed into a half full glass of warm water with no sweetener added. It�s better to use a lemon/lime squeezer to get maximum juice with minimum seeds.

2. This should be done first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, and don�t start eating breakfast right away. Some recommend an hour before eating for maximum results, but waiting at least a half hour is usually enough.

3. One technique to assure proper timing is to heat up water and put it into a thermos before going to bed. Upon rising, mix that hot water with room temperature purified lemon or lime water. Drink it down quickly, then go about your other morning routines before eating breakfast.

4. The warm lemon/lime water daily habit is as cheap and easy as it gets for helping you to improve and maintain your overall health. Bottoms up!
