Today is less about juicing, but more about using juice and other remedies to help a cold. My wife had been sick for nearly two weeks with a cold. Somehow I managed to avoid it...until last night. I took NyQuil before bed, but still woke up with a sore throat and ears. It feels like the cold is just sitting in my throat...which is the sure sign of a cold about to hit hard. I'm lucky enough to be able to work from home again today so that I can focus on getting better. I'm hoping to get in to the office tomorrow--we have a holiday lunch!--and I have a meeting that's much easier to have in person.
My game plan for fighting this cold:
- Vitamin-C packed juice
- DayQuil
- Multi-vitamin (with lots of zinc)
- Emergen-C Immune+ fizzy drink
- Garlic (recommended by a friend)...to be mixed with an avocado for a mini guacamole (lunch)
- lots of tea with honey and ginger root
- Dried apricots and blackberries (zinc-packed)
- echinacea
- a couple pieces of 73% dark chocolate (really helps after all the garlic!)
Vitamin-C Packed juice:
- orange
- half a lemon
- kiwi
- pineapple
- mango
- canteloupe
- blueberries
- grapes
- beet
Lunch: Mini guac
- avocado
- 2 crushed garlic cloves
- lime juice
- tomato
