Persistent cough and the lingering chill of seasonal colds can be hard to shake.

 

It’s not just at home; workplaces often echo with the sound of sniffles and coughs this time of year.

 

If you're struggling with a cold or a nagging cough, it's time to let your diet help you recover.

 

 

 

 

Ginger, Radish, and Garlic : Your Natural Allies

 

 

Ginger, with its spicy components like gingerol and shogaol, is renowned for its ability to warm the body and drive away the cold.

 

Commonly used to eliminate unpleasant odors in meat, ginger can also transform dishes like stews or roasted meats into nutritious comfort food.

 

Radish, another excellent choice, can be juiced, steamed, or added to soups for both flavor and health benefits.

 

Garlic, famous for its pungent flavor, contains allicin, a natural compound that helps prevent colds and soothes coughs.

 

While raw garlic might be too intense for some, it can be roasted, used generously in recipes, or even preserved in honey to create a flavorful remedy.

 

A spoonful of honey-soaked garlic before or after meals can do wonders for your immune system.

 

Let’s dive into some delicious recipes featuring these ingredients to fortify your body and warm your soul.
