Changes in seasons generally causes common cold.How much ever we try to control the exposure of kids from the viruses, may not save them.Sometimes a number of viruses may cause upper respiratory tract disorder in kids and also in adults.Kids are more prone to the environmental changes.As we all are experiencing too much changes almost everyday in the temperature,this makes kids susceptible to flu.As moms we cannot stop kids from playing outside or keep them away from the viruses in the air,but we can always take precautions by keeping and eating healthy.
Symptoms of common cold may include sneezing,sniffing and nasal congestion.But are you protected against the common cold?
Every winter or seasonal changes we catch the cold,and the best defense is right in your plate. Eating a well balanced diet can actually strengthen the immune system of course along with exercise and resting adequately.A good diet is also essential for recovering and reducing the duration of any illness.Diet also helps in decreasing the worst side effects like sore throat and stuffy nose.
1.Nutrient rich diet will build the immune system to fight against cold.
2.Increasing the intake of hot and cold liquids like water,green tea,fruit juices or soups.Liquids will help loosen the mucous and get it out of the body.
3. Avoiding caffein due to its diuretic effects in fluids like tea,coffee and soda makes them less effective than water.
There are some foods that can be eaten while the cold is on.These include oatmeal made with water,whole grain toast,tomato juice,orangejuice,decaffeinated hot tea,soups and fruits.
I hope these guidelines can help you with yourself and kids during the aggravated cold.
Cheers!!!!!!!!!!
