How To Beat a Nasty Cold
We ’ ve all experienced a cold … they ’ re the nasty things that make your nose run , give you a splitting headache , and can even lead to a loss of appetite ! With the colder seasons creeping in , we ’ re more prone to catching the common cold . Read on to find out our five ways you can beat a cold with food .
Enjoy a good dose of fruit and veggies Eating a wide range of fruit and veggies ensures you are receiving a good dose of vitamins and minerals . Particularly Vitamin C which helps to reduce the duration and severity of cold symptoms . You can find Vitamin C in citrus fruits and veggies like capsicum , kale and broccoli ! Embrace protein rich food There are a couple of good reasons why consuming protein in each meal can help beat the common cold . Protein contributes to tissue repair and helps maintain muscle mass which is important for supporting the body when fighting a cold . Protein sources include beef , and chicken . Seafood and soy are also good sources of zinc , which too can help reduce the duration of a cold . Include probiotics in your diet Your gut is important when it comes to defending against cold symptoms . Probiotics help support the healthy function of the gut . They can help reduce the duration and severity of a cold . Think yogurt and kombucha – foods that have healthy bacteria and are yummy too ! Drink plenty of fluids Water is essential in maintaining hydration , and while fighting a cold , it ’ s likely that you ’ re dehydrated . Water also helps flush out any toxins , as well as carry nutrients and regulate your temperature , all which help when you ’ re feeling under the weather . Sit in the sunshine Cooler weather is around the corner and our time spent outside often decreases while we hibernate inside to keep warm . But it ’ s still essential to get Vitamin D each day , especially when fighting a cold ! Low levels of Vitamin D is often associated with poor immunity . With many of us getting below the daily Vitamin D recommendations , it ’ s time to enjoy some sunshine . All you need is about 20 minutes , avoiding the peak of UVA / UVB rays which is usually between 11am – 4pm . Why not try to have a brisk morning or late afternoon walk each day ?
CUSTARD APPLE
Also known as sugar-apples or sweetsop , custard apples are a sweet subtropical fruit that grow along the East Coast of Australia . The popularity of this exotic fruit has skyrocketed over recent years and Australia is now the largest commercial producer of the fruit worldwide . Often compared to the sweet taste of cooked pear and custard this fruit is the perfect afternoon snack !
Selecting tips
• Choose fruit that are pale green in colour .
• Fruit is at its best when it is slightly firm , similar to the avocado they will yield to a small amount of pressure .
• Once the fruit is ripe it best to store fruit in the fridge .
PAPPLES
This juicy new star in your greengrocer is a pear dressed as an apple . Developed in New Zealand and now grown in Victoria , this round fruit is a cross between the Asian and European pear varieties . Crisp and juicy like a nashi pear , the papple is deliciously sweet and low in acid . It fully ripens on the tree but has a long shelf life and keeps well . It ’ s best stored in the fridge .
QUICK WAYS TO SERVE PAPPLES
• Thinly slice and serve on a cheese platter with chutney .
• Chop and toss through an autumn fruit salad with seedless grapes , pineapple , Valencia oranges and passionfruit pulp .
• Add slivers to an autumn salad comprising rocket , radicchio and parmesan . Dress with a honey and mustard vinaigrette .
