Antibiotics are ineffective against cold viruses
While antibiotics can treat a congested or aching head, they do not work against viruses. Antibacterial drugs are not effective against viruses and bacteria. They may be prescribed by doctors to treat some conditions. But, they could be too effective. Here's why. Let's review the facts about cold and antibiotic viruses. This information should be useful to you when you decide to take medicine.
Turmeric
Raw honey can be used to treat colds and flu. You can combine it with turmeric to make golden honey. Drinking this tea regularly is said to keep the body healthy, and can help prevent colds and flu. It is easy to make this tea yourself. Simply add honey and turmeric to warm water and store it in an airtight container. It can be used to treat symptoms like a sore throat or flu-like symptoms.
Elderberries
Anecdotal evidence suggests that elderberries can be used to treat colds and flu symptoms. It is important to remember that studies cannot prove the effectiveness of elderberry products. Because elderberry products can have side effects and interactions with other medications, this is a problem. It is best to avoid elderberries while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Soup with chicken noodle
Chicken noodle broth is a popular choice for treating colds and flu. This delicious soup can also be used to boost mood and prevent future outbreaks. This soup is full of antioxidants that protect against free radicals. The chicken noodle soup is also rich in vitamins and proteins, which can boost immunity and combat infections. The heat can be used to clear the nasal passages, and relieve symptoms of a common cold.
Intranasal steroid sprays
As an over-the counter medicine, you can purchase intranasal steroids for the flu and cold. Some brands are only available on prescription. You can either use the spray for a longer period of time or only when it is needed. To prevent hayfever, spray the area at least a week in advance of the onset. It can take several days for the spray to start working so make sure you follow the label. You can ask your pharmacist or GP for help if you are unsure how to use it.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C's high content in citrus fruit makes it a popular choice for flu and cold treatments. It doesn't cure colds, but it may reduce symptoms. Research has shown that people who take 200 mg of vitamin-C daily will feel better quicker and experience less severe symptoms. Doctors recommend eating foods high-in vitamin C like lemon juice, red bell pepper and papaya.

How To
How to keep your body and mind healthy
The main goal of this project was to make some suggestions on how to keep your body healthy. Understanding what you need to do to keep your health in good shape is the first step to maintaining your health. This meant that we had to determine what is healthy for our bodies. After looking at various ways people can improve their health, we discovered that there are many options that could be of help to us. Finally, we came to some suggestions that would allow us to stay happier and healthier.
We began by looking at all the food we eat. We learned that certain foods are bad for us while others are good. We know sugar can cause weight gain and is therefore very harmful. On the other hand, fruits and vegetables are good for us because they contain vitamins and minerals that are essential for our bodies.
Next, we looked at exercise. Exercise strengthens our bodies and gives us more energy. Exercise also makes us happier. There are many types of exercise that we can do. Running, swimming, dancing, lifting weights, and playing sports are some examples. Yoga is another way to improve your strength. Yoga can be a great exercise as it increases flexibility, improves breathing and is an excellent way to increase strength. It is important to avoid junk food, and drink lots of water, if we wish to lose weight.
Let's talk about sleep. Sleep is one the most important things we do each day. If we don’t get enough sleep, our bodies can become fatigued and stressed. This leads to problems such as headaches, back pain, depression, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. We must get enough sleep if we are to remain healthy.
