健康饮食——多吃这10种食物抗感冒：

vitamin c acts as a cell-protecting antioxidant and an immune booster. taking vitamin c might help prevent colds or flu.
维生素c是一种天然的抗氧化细胞保护成分和免疫增强剂。服用维生素c有助于预防普通感冒和流感。
chicken soup 鸡汤
chicken soup has specifically been shown in studies to thin mucus secretions.
研究表明鸡汤能够减少呼吸道分泌炎性液体。
garlic 大蒜
former research found that allicin can help prevent colds as well as shorten their duration.
已有医学研究证实，服用大蒜素能够预防感冒、缩短感冒病程。
green tea 绿茶
green tea contains antioxidants that can help to boost immune function.
绿茶含有抗氧化剂，可以帮助提高免疫功能。
lean meats 瘦肉
zinc is an important mineral that lean red meat and poultry, as well as fish and shellfish provide. zinc nasal sprays and lozenges have been shown to reduce the duration of a cold and the severity of symptoms, but ingesting too much zinc is harmful.
瘦肉、家禽、鱼类和贝类食物里含有一种重要的矿物质——锌。锌的鼻腔喷雾剂和含片能缩短感冒病程、缓解感冒症状。但是摄入过多的锌是有害的。
honey 蜂蜜
honey may reduce cough by coating and soothing an irritated throat.
蜂蜜附着在咽部可以缓解咽部刺激引起的咳嗽。
hot peppers 辣椒
capsaicin in hot peppers that provides the heat and spiciness of the food, can thin mucus, giving you a runny nose to help you breathe better and allow your nasal passages to get rid of germs.
为食物添味的辣椒中含有辣椒素，辣椒素能够降低鼻粘膜分泌物的粘稠度，方便鼻涕流出，从而让您呼吸更顺畅，还能促进鼻腔内细菌的清除。
