Part A

Well, everyone gets a gold at some time there more than 200 viruses that can cause a cold so they’re pretty hard to avoid altogether.

So, what can we do if we get one? that’s the question for our guest today, Dr. Michelle Diego welcome.

Thanks.

Good to be here.

So, let’s start with the expression freed a cold start of a fever. Is this really good advice?

Most experts say no. Instead, listen to your body.

Eat if you feel hungry. We don’t need to eat a lot when were sick. Many of us only want simple comfort foods like soup, for example.

In fact, studies show that chicken soup can actually help clear your head and help you breathe more easily add a little ginger or hot sauce and it’ll work even better.

Wow…

Or hot tea, hot tea with lemon and honey even a bowl of simple warm rice or cookie or two like your grandmother or mother used to bake

Hmm…

In fact, some doctors, myself included, say that comfort foods; foods that make us feel soothed just by eating, that comfort foods may be the secret to getting well faster we get sick when were out of balance and a little comfort from our food may help us recover more quickly

Cookies, I’m still thinking about those cookies you mentioned.
