Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 know when a cold is coming on before it takes hold. know to take action. Another symptom is feeling tired or exhausted. What do I do? Rest! Most of the time, if I take the day off, my cold gets kicked. When I feel it coming, I basically go to sleep in addition to the rest of the steps below. When I do all these steps right away, over 90% of the time, I don’t get the cold. I know you might be thinking, “Well, I’m busy. I can’t just stop and rest!” Well, if you don’t, you’ll most likely get the cold and have to take off even more days.For cold and flu prevention, make sure you manage your stress and laugh a lot! Stress impairs white blood cell function. Laughter enchances immune function. Eat Well You don’t feel like eating when you have a cold? Neither do I. But what I do eat is organic chicken broth with miso.

It's best if your food sources are local and organic. Avoid processed foods and food with artificial ingredients. Garlic Yes. Garlic.

Most likely, you have the ingredients in your kitchen. Click here for the free recipe. I drink this when I have the flu as well. Echinacea. I know you have all heard of this herb. Did you know it's a great remedy for strep thorat? Despite the recent governement study, does it really work? Click here to find out and learn how to us it as well as HOW NOT to use it. I bundle up. I’ll wear a turtle neck shirt to keep my neck covered, and put on my favorite sweats. Often I’ll put on a ski cap as well to keep my body heat in. This is especially important if you have the flu. Stay off drugs, sugar, and dairy! What? I DO NOT mean any medications your doctor has you on. Stay ON those. Stay off over the counter cold remedies, as well as other legal (and illegal) drugs, such as caffeine and nicotine. Smoking and coffee are well known to severely impair you immune system. Also, cut out sugar and other processed foods as much as you possibly can. And finally, cut out dairy on all levels. Milk, cheese and other dairy products are mucous enhancing and stuff you up even more. If my I get a stuffy nose, I no doubt make my simple stuffy nose remedy. You probably have this ingredient in your cupboard already. Click here to learn about my favorite stuffy nose cure. That’s it! Basically, I get lots of rest, eat my broth and drink my tea. There are other things I do as well, such as use some of my favorite herbs for coughs, aches or fevers, but I wanted to show you how simple it is to treat a cold naturally with things you probably already have in your kitchen.
