Natural Treatments for Colds
Hot liquid seems pretty instinctive when it comes to the first sign of a cold. But to avoid coughing for days at a time or at the first sign of a tickle in the throat, there are more liquids that can boost immunity, soothe the body and offer super nutritious balance to energy and immune system repair. Here are the 3 best liquids to drink to help your body combat a cold.
We all know how great vitamin C is. Vitamin C is very important to a healthy diet and is a highly effective antioxidant, which helps with oxidative stress. High-dose of vitamin C has been known to cure common colds.
The Vitamin C Flush accelerates detoxification, improving your body’s chemistry to neutralize viruses and fight colds. It promotes more rapid healing, and protects against further illness. Colds can hang around for a week and could hang on for up to two. For a cold nearly gone within a few days, the vitamin C flush will have positive impact for returning energy levels.
Vitamin C is cheap. It’s well tolerated. And it’s certainly better than anything else on the market. There may be some controversy in the conventional world about vitamin C’s cold prevention power. But this nutrient’s affects can cut risks of illness in half and duration of symptoms by 8-14%, according to a 2013 research.*
So, while there may be some controversy in the conventional world, there certainly isn’t in mine. When I am facing a cold or flu, I use oral vitamin C doses of 500 mg every two hours.
And you know what? I don’t ever get sick.
Take your vitamin C… and take it consistently.
