White and Green Pasta Salad
How about a great pasta dish for just 200 calories? The secret is not really in the color of the pasta ut in the combo of cottage cheese, pesto, and a pack of sour cream that is fat free. Add the green peas and you will have about half of your daily dose of Vitamin K responsible for your healthy bones. If you want some protein boosts, toss in some grilled chicken or some shrimp.

Now that we have touched on one particular herb that you might use in your everyday cooking, let’s go ahead and touch on another herb that a lot of people eat but might not know that it can actually help a number of things – that is ginger. Ginger is a fantastic herb whenever you are having stomach problems, as it has a lot of healing properties for your stomach.
Another thing that ginger is known for is that it is actually a powerful antioxidant that is capable of banishing all kinds of free radicals and I can promise that whenever you add in ginger to your diet, you are going to be healthier.
The reason is because it can also regulate blood flow, relieve a lot of pain as well as lower blood pressure.

While the two examples that I have explored here have been proven to work to treat a common cold, I can tell you for sure that honey is another treatment that works. Honey is actually fantastic if you have a cough or even if you have just a sore throat, as it coats it.
What this does is it makes sure that the tickle you feel in the back of your throat goes away, because it is hydrated and because it is coating the back of your throat. Research has actually proven this and I can tell you for sure that it works – a heck of a lot of time.
Dark colored honey works best, as it is high in antioxidants and it certainly is something that is worth the investment.

Now that we have touched on garlic, the next thing that we are going to explore is vitamin c. To be quite frank, when people tell you to drink a lot of orange juice when you are sick, it is the truth! You want to make sure that you are getting a heck of a lot of vitamin c in order to fight off that cold.
The reason for this is because vitamin c actually rises up your immune system, which makes sure that your body can fight off the infection that it is feeling when you have a cold.
For me – Simply Orange is the best way to go, as it is by far the best tasting and it is that … simply orange!

I have not been sick for at least three years and I can tell you for sure that it is awesome. However … when I get sick, it takes me a really long time to recover.
That is exactly what happened to me two weeks ago. I got extremely, extremely sick and I was even out of work for three days! It was terrible! It was then that I realized that I needed to find us some good, natural treatments for the common cold. That is what the new four blogs are going to be able – curing the common cold naturally.
One of the first treatments is garlic! Garlic has been known for quite a long time for the home cure for the common cold and it is honestly awesome! The cold-fighting compound in garlic is allicin and it really does work! More in the next blog!
