Home remedies for the cold

Home remedies for the cold. Hot tea with lemon and honey

Our mothers and grandmothers often gave us this warm drink in childhood. Enrichment of the tea with honey and lemon is a great source of vitamins (especially the valuable vitamin C!) and a number of other active ingredients, which may prove to be an important support for the proper functioning of immunity. What's more, you can add a number of other valuable ingredients to your tea, such as natural fruit juice or effectively warming ginger.

Home remedies for the cold. Fresh fruit and vegetables

Autumn is rather associated with rainy and gloomy weather as well as leaves falling from the trees. However, one must not forget the richness of seasonal fruit and vegetables! This time of year it is worthwhile to enrich your daily diet with pumpkin, pears, apples, peppers, parsley, plums and cranberries. All have a high content of the already mentioned vitamin C, minerals (e.g. zinc) and many extremely helpful antioxidants. In addition to their good taste, they provide real protection against the adverse effects of free oxygen radicals and oxidative stress that can promote the maintenance of the cold. What is more, an optimal supply of vitamin C supports the maintenance of proper energy metabolism and promotes the reduction of the feeling of fatigue. This is one of the best home remedies for all the inconveniences that result, among other things, from a decrease in immunity.

Home remedies for the cold. Garlic

When it comes to home remedies for the cold, we should not forget one of the most valuable vegetables! For generations, garlic has been one of the most effective means of combating pathogenic microorganisms due to its rich content of allicin - a valuable ingredient that shows antibacterial properties and supports immunity. An intensive smell of garlic can be a real problem, that is why scientists from the modern Research and Development Centre of the Olimp Laboratories pharmaceutical company created Garlicin. It is a dietary supplement in the form of small capsules, containing a completely odourless and highly concentrated garlic extract, standardized for 2% of precious allicin. The product has been prepared from microbiologically tested ingredients and with the use of innovative technology, which confirms its high quality and safety.
