8 things to do if you feel you get a cold
Did you woke up with a sore throat, or running nose? Here are 8 simple tricks that might help you to relieving your symptoms.
1. Drink FluidsHaving plenty of fluid intake during this time is very important, as this will help your liver and kidneys to flush out waste. Drink enough water or herbal tea and remind yourself constantly to get hydrated. 2) Use a humidifier Stay hydrated not only from the inside, but also from the outside. Humidifiers will add moisture to the air you breath in. There are also nice scents like Eucalyptus or Peppermint that can enhance the effects of lubricating your respiratory tract and calm irritation in your nose and throat.
3) Take a steamy shower In line with the first two tips, we are sticking to the water theme. A hot shower is a great way to hydrate your sinuses and help to clear blocked nasal passages. You can also enhance this experience with scented shower gels and shampoos. Make sure you take lots of big breaths. 4) Go to bed early Sleep is the best remedy against a cold, because sleep is helping your immune system to fight the infection. Try to go to bed 1-2 hours earlier than you usually do.
5) Gargle salt water Gargling a glass of concentrated salt water is probably not leaving the best taste in your mouth, but it will help a sore throat. Salt creates a less-friendly environment for bacteria, easing your symptoms or stopping them completely. 6) Try a saline spray Sticking with salt, the Mayo Clinic recommends to use saline drops and nasal sprays instead of decongestants. Saline doesn’t cause symptoms to come back stronger, after you stopped using them. Also, Saline is gentler than most medications, because the salty solution helps liquefy blockage and wash away congestion without any artificial ingredients.
7) Increase your Vitamin C intake Even if you have you daily freshly-pressed orange juice, it is recommend to ramp up Vitamin C intake, if you feel you get a cold. You can use these fizzing immune support tablets from the supermarket that dissolve in a glass of water. Drink this once a day. 8) Feed your body with the right food Try to eat more beetroot, blueberries, cranberries, carrots, garlic and ginger. These foods are known as immune boosters. With anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties, these natural ingredients will help your body form a strong defence against an approaching cold.
