With Christmas just around the corner, a lot of people are worried that they might be battling sickness during the holidays.
Nothing feels worse than battling a cold on what should be one of the happiest days of the year. Here are four ways to help you fight off the common cold this Christmas.
Exercising while you're sick can seem like an impossible task, but it can actually clear symptoms of a cold like congestion.
Adding a handful of spices to your breakfast might do the trick, as they act as antioxidants that can reduce the duration of your sickness.
Steam can help loosen the mucus in your nasal passages, which improves congestion, so be sure to take hot showers.
Stay hydrated—this is essential, as maintaining fluid intake helps flush out harmful bacteria.
Anything that hydrates you is good, but try to go for warm water with a pinch of lemon for the antioxidant boost.
