You've started noticing a slightly running a nose and that your throat is a little sore. Living in denial is certainly an option but it is likely that once you start to notice the symptoms it is probable that you're already very sick. Before you run to the store for some over the counter quick fix, you might think about the natural remedies for your cold that are already in your home. You might be tempted to reach right for the drugs, but using a natural health remedy is just as good an option when you're sick. While you will obviously want to follow all of your doctor's orders, trying a natural method of curing your cold before seeking a doctor's help might save you from needing to see the doctor at all! In case you're interested, a super way to use those nutritious fruits and vegetables is making healthy green smoothies with a Vitamix blender. The Vita-Mix 5200 is our top pick.

One of the best ways to improve your health is to eat onions. Many people swear by an onion and honey combination for cold and flu relief. The mixture consists of onion slices covered (steeped) in honey for a long period of time (usually overnight). You need to take time to mix both ingredients together and then let it sit still through the night. If you eat some of the mixture every few hours for two or three days the cold should start to fade. You might think about adding some chopped or sliced onions to your meals, they're easy to incorporate! One of the most tried, true and popular natural health remedies is ginger. Thankfully ginger is something that most people have on hand-either in their spice cabinets or in some of the hot tea varieties that might be hanging out in the kitchen. When you get sick it can't hurt to add a little bit of ginger to what you are eating and drinking. It's easier for you to heal when you've had some ginger. Drinking ginger tea regularly can help your immune system become strong enough to fight off any colds or flues that might try to take hold.

Don't eat sugar. Sugar slows down your immune system which makes it easier for colds and flues to take hold. Cutting out sugar can help you feel healthier and stronger which is part of keeping yourself free of illness. While many people opt for sugary drinks when they are sick because they like the taste, staying strong and drinking water instead is better for you. Eating a lot of sugar will undo all of the good that your other healthier habits might be doing for you. Natural health cures are all over the place! There is no reason to shove a bunch of chemicals into your system if you don't have to! This article does not advocate ignoring your doctor but does encourage you to try some natural health remedies if at all possible. Last but not least, don't forget to read our Vitamix reviews.
