7 "antipolonism" that prolong a cold

It is important to remember that if you knock out colds, cough, runny nose flows like a river, the first thing you can help the body is a little to eat. Times you need to eat enough, plus we get sick, it is necessary to eat only healthy foods. Here and there zagvostka. Not everything useful will be of benefit for colds.

Scientists together with nutritionists has made a rating of antipolonism" in the cold..

1. Nuts

Of course, useful substances in nuts — weight. But we should not forget about their high kalloriynostyu. Too fattening food to a sick body does not need. Besides, the high fat content of nuts organizes digestion difficulties in the assimilation.

And many nuts, the top layer can irritate and dry the throat, so they are not recommended for disease of the upper respiratory tract.

 

2. Raw vegetables and fruits

Yes, it might be a shock, but it is a fact. Because the first tip for a cold — plenty of vegetables and fruit. This is true at the beginning of the disease and in the end, when the body needs to remedy the lack of vitamins and minerals. If the temperature put you to bed for a long time, the body does not want to the intestines slows down. And the fiber of vegetables and fruits refers to indigestible substances. Therefore, vegetables are best steamed, baked or stew to soften tissue. Apples, by the way, you can also bake it — use them will not decrease, and for digestion will be easier.

Also, acid from oranges, lemons and tangerines not only irritate a sore throat, but also create an acidic environment in which bacteria readily multiply. Therefore, when a cold is recommended to drink alkaline mineral water to wash away the mucous intruders. And sour fruit put on the recovery period.

 

3. Alcohol and coffee

Known to many "old-fashioned" way to "grab" a drink for disinfection, at the beginning of the disease, might actually work provided that your body snuck bacteria. In viral diseases of the alcohol is useless. And if you try to be treated with shots in the midst of a cold, it's even more harmful: alcohol slows down reaction of the body, weakens the immune system, and also sickly has on the liver and already loaded with toxins from the patient's body.

Coffee also dehydrates the body, which in the cold is simply unacceptable.

 

4. Dairy products

Surprisingly, the mother's Council at cold to drink for the night milk with honey, alas, not the best. Milk, like all dairy products (especially butter, margarine, cheese) have the slime effect. That is, slow the treatment of rhinitis, expectoration from the lungs, sagusa this whole cocktail of bacteria.

In this case yogurt, low-fat yogurt help move the bowels. To get rid side effect, add a bit of ginger or turmeric. These spices will not only remove the slime effect, but will warm you from the inside.

 

5. Cocoa with cookies

Too high-calorie sweets, biscuits and other chocolate reduces the activity of the immune system. It turns out that sweets can suppress white blood cell activity — useful cells that protects us from viruses and bacteria. In addition, sweet film on the wall of the throat is the best breeding ground for bacteria. Muffins or cookies with icing sugar or cocoa powder of aggravate the cough, irritating the throat.

The only exception is honey. If not add it in hot tea and eat a couple of spoons bit of sugar, it will be a continuous use. Honey, despite its caloric content, has antibacterial effects, contains a lot of nutrients and stimulates the immune system.

 

6. Fried meat, jelly and "fast food"

Fatty, high-calorie, hard to stomach, and intestines. In General, a sick body an abundance of meat products, including sausages, definitely not necessary. The same applies to burgers, fries, and any finished product their series "just add heat", which we take sometimes in stores.

In General, do not create extra work for the intestines, because it "hides" the beneficial bacteria that help the immune cells to fight the disease. So overload during a cold the intestinal tract.

And tough meat too, exacerbates the cough, causing a sore throat.

 

7. Potatoes

Fell into disgrace due to its excessive starch — that is, he is also able to sagomate mucus, making it difficult to cure common cold and cough. The same, incidentally, applies to all starch-containing products, including jellies.

 

So that you can that?

And it may not be necessary? If the body says — I don't want, just let me lie down, listen to him. The only — water it often. Ordinary water and alkaline mineral, herbal teas, including ginger. Compotes and fruit drinks that are better to cook for yourself. Very good fresh carrot juice is vitamin And it promotes the formation of antibodies.

But the most useful dish for ill — the usual chicken broth with vegetables. Scientists from the U.S. found in the chicken soup special ingredient carnosine, which has a potent immunostimulatory effect. And this ingredient in other products not found! No wonder our grandmothers were treated with cold chicken broth.

Besides the fact that hot liquid improves movement of mucus in the respiratory tract and helps to relieve symptoms of colds and flu, chicken soup improves the function of protective cilia of the respiratory tract. That is, not just alleviate symptoms, but also suppresses the runny nose, cough and sore throat.

And if chicken broth floats the onions, carrots and bell pepper, all the nutrients from them pass into the liquid. For example, organosulfide (substances contained in garlic and onions) stimulate the production of immune cells-macrophages. Vitamin C (from bell pepper) influences the level of neutrophils and interferon. Vitamin a and carotenoids (in carrots) contribute to the production of antibodies. Chicken fat and broth will increase the absorption of vitamins D, A, K, E, that is understood, they are much better.

Keep this in mind and do not get sick.
