How To Treat Your Colds

Colds are very common especially with the kind of weather we have. I have colds so I want to treat it as soon as I can.

They say colds cannot be cured because they are viruses. They have to take their course once they enter your body. It takes a few careful days before you are back to being the normal and not ngo-ngo sounding person.

These are a few steps I take EVERYDAY in order to treat my colds while they are present.

First, once you are infested by the ever-present cold virus, you will feel very weak. Your head will feel like a basketball, heavy and floating. Your nose will feel itchy and you will have a hard time breathing. Runny nose is expected and a lot of nose blowing and sneezing is present. Sneezing and blowing your nose spreads virus into your hands. Therefore, you must be extra careful of your hygiene and devote extra time in frequently washing your hands. Not only washing, but thoroughly washing your hands with soap. Not only will this give you a better hygiene, but also a good habit.

Second, you have to take your food and drink in moderation. You must prevent drinking of cold beverages and milk and juices, because they will not help you feel better. Drinking cold beverages may feel good at first, BUT, believe me, the after effects will make you so miserable you'd want to stop drinking at all. Why? It made your colds worse, that's why. In contrary, you must drink plenty of water. if possible, drink gallons and gallons of water every time because it will help you keep hydrated and reduce the possibility of having soar throats and it helps you flush away the virus. How? You tend to go to the bathroom to pee because of the gallons of water you have taken.

Third, make sure that you take chicken and spicy soup and spicy food. This will help you clear your nasal passages so wouldn't have a hard time breathing. In addition, chicken soup helps to slow down cells that cause cold symptoms. This is my favorite part of treating colds because they are like cheap nebulizers, they help me breathe easier even though it would only last for a few minutes.

Fourth, and the most important step of the day, take a good rest. A good rest is sleeping early in a dimly lit room, lying in a very comfortable bed with very good airconditioning. This will help you recharge your body to fight away the virus. having a good night sleep will also give you a lighter head when you wake up the next morning.

Doing this every day would make you feel the difference day after day.

You better not take away any step because you wouldn't want to feel worse every waking day.

So remember, be hygienic, drink lots of water, eat spicy food and chicken soup, and take a good rest.
