Yuck, sorry. I'm just starting to recover from my cold today, here's what I've been doing to keep it in check:
- Drink plenty of water, more than MFP's 8 cups a day if you can manage.
- No dairy, it makes the congestion worse.
- Cut back on sugar, too, I've found that it makes me feel a lot worse during a cold.
- Eat a lot of nutrient-rich vegetables, and be sure to get a lot of vitamin C.0 -
Whenever I start to come down with cold symptoms I eat a grapefruit, drink gallons of water, then have my regular meal with some tea and honey and then take as many naps as I can.
Unfortunately with colds (assuming you mean the rhinovirus) you really just have to let it run its course. The vitamin C and honey and making sure you let your body rest and eating the nutrients necessary for a healthy immune system will help your immune system do its best, but ultimately, you'll have to wait it out.0 -
Thanks guys! Will definitely start taking a lot more water on board!
The tea and honey actually sounds very nice, I will be trying that tonight! thanks0
