Cough Cough... The Unyielding Cold, Stand Back!

I Will Recommend Foods Good for Colds

Coughing and coughing, then sniffing and blowing the nose loudly. Sneezing with an "achoo," followed by more coughing. I'm not the only one like this, right? It seems that colds are rampant these days. Every friend I meet has a hoarse voice and is taking cold medicine. The virus seems to be playing tricks, with symptoms changing little by little, but my body feels more and more drained instead of getting better. Could it be because I haven't eaten any health foods all winter and only ate tasty things? The pickled green onion kimchi feels like it could be called "big brother" already, even though the real heat hasn't even started. Before you get worse or sicker, I will introduce some foods good for colds that can help take care of your body even a little, so please don't just read and finish.

Honey

When I was young and caught a cold, my mother would hollow out a pear, put honey inside, and boil it, and I hated the taste so much. But I remember that if I endured and drank it, the cold would say goodbye before I knew it. As an adult, I realized it was a natural cold medicine. Honey, which is so sweet it feels like your cheeks might cramp, is excellent for infectious inflammatory diseases of the pharynx and larynx. Not only that, but it is said to strengthen immunity, restore stamina, and help with a good night's sleep, so try taking an appropriate amount.

Ginger Tea

Ginger, a food ingredient I used to avoid in childhood because of its unique aroma, is now something I enjoy even the scent of. Ginger is an excellent ingredient for preventing flu and colds. It not only stops bacterial growth but also blocks viruses. Moreover, it is good for muscle pain, so it seems good to consume when you have body aches here and there from flu-like symptoms. In addition, it has many benefits such as improving indigestion, reducing blood cholesterol levels, and preventing dementia, so why not enjoy a cup while appreciating ginger's unique aroma? If you consume it with the honey introduced earlier, it will be easier to enjoy the taste.

Pear

When you catch a cold, you tend to feel especially thirsty. At such times, water is good, but consuming pear is better. Pear contains a component called rutiol, which helps reduce bronchial inflammation and supplies moisture. It also has effects that relieve phlegm discharge, coughing, and asthma symptoms. Additionally, it has a fever-reducing effect, so it is good to eat instead of fever medicine. Pear and honey, introduced earlier, also make a perfect match, so it might be good to consume them instead of cold medicine.

Besides these, jujube, balloon flower root, tangerines (oranges), and yuzu are also good.

Please make sure to eat something and hopefully escape the cold hell this summer...☆
