Common cold may be a very minor disease but a person who is suffering from it feels very tired and lethargic and is also unable to perform his daily activities efficiently.

Common cold and flu can be caused due to various factors, the most prominent being sudden chilling due to a change in temperature or season.

Today most of us use air conditioning, when we walkout from an air conditioned room to outside there is a sudden change in temperature and provides an opportunity to the common cold virus to attack our body. The common cold virus is active only when it is inside a living body or else it is treated as dead. The virus becomes more active and makes the body sick if it is fed with chilled water.

It is important that you only consume the food that will help in withdrawing the symptoms and killing the virus. There are many healthy options available through which you can naturally cure cold and flu.

If the common cold becomes chronic then you should start consuming more amounts of fruits, vegetables and soups. Along with eating healthy food you should also exercise as permitted by your body so that pores of your skin open up. If you get extremely weak then you should soak your feet in warm water for 20 minutes before going in the bed. You should not consume anything that is refrigerated or processed and must not take any medicine that has not been prescribed by your Doctor.

Spinach is one vital vegetable that is rich in variety of minerals and vitamins and must be consumed raw or in the form off a soup by a patient who is suffering from cold and flu. If your throat aches then you should drink warm water 3 to 4 times in a day and must gargle with Luke warm water mixed with salt before going to the bed.

This will help in relaxing your throat muscles and will remove the soreness. Consuming vitamin C everyday will also strengthen your immune system and will treat all kinds of diseases you are suffering from naturally.
