How to Ward Off Early Signs of Colds and Throat Infections

During rainy season or right after Christmas vacation, there are a lot of people here who suffered common illnesses as cough and colds, back pain, allergies due to very cold weather, etc. I’ve found a cheap way to ward off, at least the early signs of colds and throat infection, at least

Just a while ago as I was browsing the Healthy Living section of Yahoo! Shine, I ran over an article: “Feeling a Cold Coming on? The #1 Thing to Do, According to One Expert”.

I got curious why the image enclosed shows garlic bulbs. Yeah, as in bawang.

And so I clicked on the article and found out another way of preventing cold or even throat infection – chewing garlic. Now that kind of smells bad. Most of us hate how garlic could cause bad breathe but read on first why health experts say that this could actually help you stop cold from emerging.

Allium Sativum (garlic) has allicin, the antimicrobial agent that fights infection. Let’s make your imagination work this time. Imagine allicin as a great superhero. It shields and protects your tissues from the villain we call Cysteine proteinase enzymes. This enzyme allows infectious organisms to damage your tissues.

When the villain – Cysteine proteinase enzymes – weakens, the other super villain – Alcohol dehydrogenase enzymes – supports the metabolism of the infectious organisms, allowing them to survive and further harm your tissues.

And the only way to release allicin is to crush the garlic or directly chew it. Chew them in after crushing so as not to lose the beneficial properties of the allicin.

Remember, prevention is better than cure. 😉
