Be ready for cold season this year
What's worse than coming down with a cold? Coming down with a cold and not having any of your remedies stocked! This year, stock up on those essentials before the cold comes, so you can hunker down and not have to run out to the store or beg someone to go for you.- Chicken Soup: Although not proven to actively fight colds, come on, admit it, it makes you feel better.
- Tea: This ginger, lemon and honey tea sounds wonderful.
- Tissues: You could try to stock up on some handkerchiefs, but if you need to use disposables, try some made from 100% recycled paper.
- Humidifier: Don't forget how helpful a humidifier can be.
- Soda: Ginger ale of course. Here is a recipe for a homemade version that doesn't contain high-fructose corn syrup.
- Prevention: The most important thing is prevention...washing hands can be the best prevention! And don't forget to clean all of those places where germs love to hang out like the remote, telephone, doorknobs and refrigerator handle!
