8 Foods to Eat When You Have a Cold

Tea

Tea is soothing when you’re congested, especially a brew with natural expectorants like anise seeds. Doctors recommend the American Pharmaceutical Association’s recipe: one cup of crushed anise seeds to one cup of hot water, flavored with sugar, garlic, cinnamon, or honey. Sip tea up to three times a day. If you don’t like licorice flavor, try peppermint. The University of Maryland Medical Center reported that peppermint tea acts as an expectorant, loosening mucus and breaking up coughs.

 

Fish

Doctors suggest eating oily fish, like salmon and tuna, when you have a cold, to take advantage of their omega-3 fatty acids. These compounds help reduce inflammation in the body, which can prevent your immune system from working properly.
