proven recipes for colds

Ulyana Zinova, Corresponding Member of the IAPN, child and family psychologist:

– If you feel that a runny nose – a harbinger of a cold – is coming, take on board a simple recipe that my mother-in-law shared with me. Peel the head of garlic, take out the core from it – the stick on which the cloves are held. Place the stick on the saucer and light it gently. Give it a little burn, extinguish and begin to actively inhale the healing smoke. And don’t forget about a good mood! After all, it is it that helps to avoid colds.

Valeria Kazak, wedding photographer:

– The most important recipe is to never lose heart! After all, any sadness, sore, problem is glued to the person who lets negative thinking into his life. Every morning after waking up, I go to the mirror, smile and say: “Hey, beauty, everything will be cool!”. I take a shower, make plans, have a cup of coffee, charged with positive, and go to work miracles. If the illness still prevails over me, I try to conduct an introspection … Apparently, somewhere I stumbled, something went wrong. And having found the reason, you must definitely try to fix it: you have offended someone – excuse me, someone has offended you – forgive me. After all, faith in yourself, in your strengths, thoughts and words is the strongest!

Artem Shinkarev, owner of RESTO GROUP:

– I am a busy person, and therefore I am attentive to my health. I don’t dress easily, I always wear a scarf. Why treat a disease if it can be prevented? I read in one article that ginger is an irreplaceable remedy for colds and coughs. But here, too, there are some subtleties. Here are the options for ginger tea.

Recipe number 1:

1. Rub the ginger root on a fine grater.
2. Add grated ginger to black tea.
3. Let it brew for a couple of minutes.

You need to drink a burning drink, not cooled down. It won’t be of any use.

Recipe number 2:

Juice the ginger root (using a juicer or a simple mixer) and add 1-15 ml of juice to one mug of tea. The more juice, the sharper the taste.

Valery Astakhov, presenter:

– The easiest way to fight a cold is the following recipe: if you feel tired, unwell, drop everything and devote at least 2 hours to your beloved. Drinking medicinal devices (tested, recommended). Then you drink a killer dose of herbal tea and lie down under the covers. Sleep is the most important doctor! He will definitely do his good deed. It is sometimes difficult to prevent illness, especially in inclement weather. Therefore, do not forget to regularly feed your body with vitamins!

Ekaterina Suvorova, owner of the educational center “Ekaterina Suvorova’s Style Studio”:

– The main recipe for colds is adherence to the daily regimen. It is better to once again give up gatherings with friends so that tomorrow is as productive as possible. I have brought out several recommendations for myself, which I follow with all seriousness:

1. In any case, do not work through force, this decreases immunity and … bam! The virus is right there.
2. A balanced diet and moderate exercise (whatever you like) is a prerequisite for keeping your body in good shape.
3. Find yourself a hobby and preferably an active one! I have it dancing 3 times a week. Dancing is my “secret” recipe. I completely forgot about medicines!
4. Also, to maintain immunity, I brew dry rose hips and drink every day! The main thing is to add vitamins C and B to your diet – a good alternative to chemical vitamins.

Liya Kinibaeva, stylist, make-up artist, costume designer:

– If you feel that you are about to get sick, I advise you to resort to this trick. I don’t remember where I found out about it, but I recommend it to everyone as personally tested. Take a fresh lemon, peel, scald and dry. Cut into small wedges and cover them with honey. Eat in this form. After that, be sure to rinse your mouth! The acid destroys tooth enamel. Remember: a loading dose of vitamin C and various pleasantly useful things will help stop a cold at the very beginning.
