You really do feel a lot better after a bowl of chicken soup. Is that really the case, or is it between your ears? ASAPscience listed a number of remedies and looked at whether they really work.
No complicated medicines
Funnily enough, it is the simplest remedies that really have a positive effect on your cold. Chicken soup, for example, is really soothing. Honey can also do good because of its antibacterial effect.
Short cold
In most cases, a cold cannot be prevented, but the duration can be shortened by eating a healthy diet and getting enough vitamin C.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Apples do have positive effects on health (also eat the peel!), but not so much on a cold.
Alcohol
Surprising:a very limited amount of alcohol is supposed to be good for the immune system.
Three resources that always help
Water, rest and time ensure that every cold and flu passes.
