Hot Drinks Relieve Cold Symptoms

Cold and flu season is upon us, leaving those suffering from the effects of the cold or flu searching for relief. Studies have shown that an inexpensive way to combat cold and flu symptoms is to consume a hot drink.

In the study, volunteers with common cold symptoms were given a hot cordial apple and blackcurrant drink. The hot drink provided relief for symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, coughing and sneezing. While fruit cordial was used in the study, the researchers suggest that almost any hot drink will be beneficial in fighting off cold and flu symptoms.
