Coughing and colds infect our airways, causing immune system cells to fight inflammation caused by symptoms. The symptoms of a sore throat and a cough are alleviated by lowering inflammation in the cells of our airways. How to stay healthy when the weather changes is a frequently discussed topic. But what if you feel that familiar tickling in your throat while speeding to Cold City? Here are five weird ways to beat a cold:

Walk fast

According to recent studies, fast walking boosts immunity, which helps you avoid getting sick with a cold. Walking fast can help you keep your body warm. However, avoid overexerting yourself by refraining from running, and if you have more than the common cold, it is advisable to stay in bed.

Eat peppers

Red bell peppers are a superfood that are high in vitamin C and are thought to shorten and lessen the severity of cold and flu symptoms. Yogurt, turmeric, garlic, oregano, green tea, and pumpkins are additional foods that increase immunity. Keeping a roasted black pepper in your mouth can keep you from coughing continuously.

Take a sauna

According to research, breathing warm, humid air somehow provides your body with the same cleansing benefits as drinking lots of liquids when you’re sick, causing the cold to vanish on its own. If not a sauna, then a steamer might do its job and help you clear your nostrils. 

Don’t blow

When your nose is blocked, blowing out both nostrils at the same time can cause mucus to rise into your sinuses, potentially leading to further infection. Take decongestants instead, or blow each nostril individually. 

Have a hot fruit drink

To be more precise, a fruit cordial, it has been discovered that symptoms including sniffling, coughing, sore throat, and a runny nose can be alleviated by consuming a hot cup of apple and black currant juice. If other hot beverages are equally effective, scientists are investigating this.
