7 Foods Guaranteed to Help You Combat the Flu

Garlic

Who doesn’t love a garlic-flavored dinner? Turns out, this food has been used in alternative medicine for centuries due to its healing properties. Human beings have been cultivated these delicious bulbs for at least 5000 years.

For example, this study published in the journal Clinical Nutrition proved that garlic supplementation can reduce unpleasant symptoms caused by the flu while enhancing your immunity.

While taking garlic supplements is also an option, you can just go for plain, raw garlic and include it in your favorite meals. Experts recommend you to start including garlic to your diet as soon as the first flu symptoms strike.

 

Yogurt

Yogurt contains live cultures that keep your digestive functions healthy and protect your immune functions. Simple as it may seem, this is one of the best natural remedies for sore throats, a common symptom in flu patients.

Consuming a cup of yogurt during the flu also gives you a healthy, long-needed dose of protein to give you a boost of energy.

The healthiest option is plain, simple yogurt as most of its flavored alternatives contain preservatives or chemicals. You can enhance this food by adding honey, another delicious remedy for a sore throat.
