Easy and natural tips to help you through cold and flu season
Cold and flu season has arrived! So, here are two surprising things that’ll ease a sore throat:
First: Frozen grapes. The cold will numb your throat a bit. And Joan Blake, clinical professor of nursing at Boston University, says grapes are packed with vitamin C, which helps immune cells stay strong.
Also, eat shiitake mushrooms. Integrative medicine expert Dr. Chris D’Adamo says they contain molecules called beta-glucans, which have antiviral and anti-bacterial properties. Plus, tons of vitamin D, which is vital for a strong immune system.
