Chicken Soup, a Sniffle Solution for Colds & Flu

Stuffy nose got you down?  Swift relief could be just a can opener away.  

Chicken soup, a common, yet often forgotten, self-help measure during the cold and flu season.

The ‘cold and flu’ season is upon us.  It’s difficult to remember just how uncomfortable you can be until you catch a nasty bug! A stuffy nose only adds to the misery of your aches and pains.

Over 100 types of cold viruses are currently known with new strains of influenza evolving every few years.  Of course, neither will respond to antibiotics since they are viral-related.   However, chicken soup works wonders in relieving the miserable symptoms associated with these illnesses.

- The broth aids in hydration.

- The warm vapors from the soup helps to shrink sinus passageways, thus reducing pressure, congestion and pain.

- Warm broth sure feels good on a sore throat.

- Chicken soup contains important vitamins and minerals, such as iron and protein that help your body gain strength, and in addition, aid in the healing process.

- Generally, the canned condensed chicken soups are rich in sodium, an essential electrolyte.  One note for those with high blood pressure, or those on a sodium-restricted diet; a homemade version of chicken soup or reduced sodium soup might make a better choice.

- If your chicken soup comes from a jar or can, it’s a very convenient mode, especially if you are in a weakened condition and are alone.

- Chicken soup is tasty!

Remember, nothing beats prevention!  Stay warm, eat healthy and whenever possible, avoid people who have contracted a virus. While making that visit to the market, toss in a few lemons and Vitamin C; both are very good additions that will help your system thwart the virus.
