5 foods to fight cold

Citrus Fruits



Vitamin C increases the production of antibodies and white blood cells that help fight infection. And what better than citrus fruits to get a natural dose of Vitamin C.

Garlic



Allicin, a sulphuric compound found in garlic, can zap viruses by blocking the enzymes that cause infection.

Tea

Tea contains a group of antioxidants known as catechins, which are said to have flu-fighting properties. Green tea is recommended.

Mushrooms


When it comes to germ defence, these fleshy foods have quite an advantage. Just about all varieties contain some form of immuneboosting antioxidants.

Yoghurt

Bacteria is not always harmful. Some of these microorganisms could in fact be good for your health. Eating probiotic foods, such as Yoghurt, helps replenish beneficial strains of such bacteria.
