Naturally Fighting the Common Cold

1. Get plenty of sleep. A fatgued body is more susceptable to sickness.

2. Wash your hands with soap and warm water regularly.

3. Use antibacterial lotion or gel when necessary.

4. Eating spicy foods act as a natural decongestant.

5. Drinks lots of water.

6. Tea with honey helps sooth the throat.

7. Keep your home warm and dry. Use a vaporizer or crack a window if it becomes too dry.

8. Limit sugary and junk food. If you give your body the proper fuel (fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole wheats) it needs, your immune system is stronger and better at fighting off viruses.

9. Regular exercise has so many physical benefits including keeping your immune system strong, which helps you fight off and prevent contact of colds and other sicknesses. Heavy breathing helps flush the lungs of bacteia and sweating helps the body remove toxins and waste. 

10. Relax. Stress plays a major role in your body's susceptibility to sickness. Take your 10 minutes, breath, meditate, do yoga, read a book, dance or just go for a slow stroll.
