Top 5 Natural Ways to Prevent and Fight a Cold or Flu

1. Garlic
It may smell a bit stinky but these little miracle cloves do a lot more than deter vampires. Garlic is antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties as well as antioxidants. It is most effective taken in its raw form as its active ingredient, Allicin, has a short active span once garlic is cut. Cooking garlic also kills off its beneficial properties. Taking it with thiamine (vitamin b1) increases the garlic's power to combat a cold/flu. Some foods that contain good sources of Vitamin B1 include romaine lettuce, mushrooms, green peas, tomatoes, brussels sprouts, asparagus, spinach and sunflower seeds.
Green Idea:
Make a nice salad with lettuce/spinach and tomatoes and right before eating, chop some fresh garlic on top.
