What is the best food to eat when you have a cold?

Answer 1

I had some grapefruit because I learned it detoxifies the liver and I had milk with 1/2 a teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, a sprinkle of flax seeds and some honey. It doesn't taste the best because of the turmeric but it helps with a cold.

Answer 2

The best way to treat a cold that is coming on is to drink gingerale and eat some kind off hot soup.You could also eat healthy food like fruit,vegetables or eat products like unsalted crackers bread etc. This is what I usally eat and drink when ever i feel a cold coming on!

Answer 3

First of all, people who are ill and not vomiting are usually well-served by a nutritionally rich diet. This is fundamental.

There are some studies that support the folk beliefs that chicken soup helps those suffering from the common cold since it has been shown that boiled chicken contains something that stimulates the immune system.

The old saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" seems to have some truth to it. Not only are apples nutritious, but eating them may have real health benefits.1

But the skin of dark red apples contains chemicals such as procyanidins which may make it harder for viruses to thrive. The skin of fruits is designed by nature to prevent bacteria, viruses, and insects from getting inside, and thus contain many compounds which are poisonous to them but often not to humans, though there are many wild fruits and plants which are poisonous to humans.

We don't know what these compounds do to viruses once inside the body, but some studies suggest that they may to some extent disrupt the process of viruses such as those which cause the common cold.
