When you are feeling under the weather, have a stuffy nose, sore throat and congestion in the chest, how do you know if you have the flu or a cold? Flu and cold symptoms are very similar, let’s take a closer look.
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE A FLU OR A COLD?
Common COLD Symptoms
A cold can occur at any time of the year, especially during the cold and rainy seasons. A cold virus spreads through tiny air droplets that you catch when a sick person near you sneezes, coughs or blows their nose.
With a cold, you will have milder symptoms compared to the flu. You may feel terrible for a few days, but knowing what to do can usually cut short your suffering.
Sore throat
Runny nose
Nasal congestion
Cough
Mild fever in adults
Fever in children
Dark mucus and phlegm
Common FLU Symptoms
Influenza (the flu) is highly contagious and can be spread from person to person. The standard flu season runs from fall to spring of the following year.
With the flu, you most likely will, initially, have a fever that makes you feel miserable as your body fights the infection. Your body and muscles may ache or feel sore.
Flu symptoms are more severe than cold symptoms and come on quickly. Some of the symptoms of flu include:
Sore throat
On and off fever
Headache
Muscle aches and soreness
Runny or stuffy nose
Cough
Nasal congestion
Chest discomfort
Fatigue and body weakness
Some types of flu may induce vomiting and diarrhea
Whether you have the flu or a cold, you know they are not going to be pleasant. It is the reason why many people opt for the flu shot to prevent getting them. But, you risk possible negative side effects that may sometimes be worse than the flu itself.
This year, why not try to prevent it naturally instead? Mother Nature provides many natural foods that are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic.
THE POWERFUL SYNERGY OF NATURE’S SUPERIOR ANTIBIOTICS
I put together six of the best and most powerful of Nature’s antibiotic foods to make this super health tonic that you can consume on a daily basis to strengthen your immunity and never get sick again! They work like magic, I tell you!
1. Miraculous Healing Food: Garlic
Allicin is released when it is minced or crushed. Allicin is nearly 15x as potent as penicillin, and offers the broadest spectrum of protection against pathogenic bacteria, viruses, parasites, yeast infections, and even the antibiotic-resistant MRSA. It is one of Nature’s many amazing cancer-fighting foods.
Garlic contains 33 active sulfur-containing substances that when ingested, converts to sulfenic acid – the fastest acting free radical eliminator. When it comes to flu, garlic is so powerful (yet gentle) to cut down on your sick time and prevent secondary infections.
2. Key To Fighting Antibiotic Resistance: Onion
Pathogens in bacterial and viral infections are developing resistance to antibiotic drugs. This means that the pathogens become unaffected by prescription drugs and chemicals. And, this is when natural antibiotic foods such as onions are powerful to fight bacterial and viral infections.
Onions have powerful flavonoids that contain therapeutic sulfur compounds which include anticarcinogenic properties, antiplatelet activity, antithrombotic activity and antibiotic effects.
