It’s not just an old wives tale! Chicken soup really is good for the common cold!

And here are 3 reasons why:

1. Chicken contains an amino acid that loosens mucus and improves respiratory function. So it’ll help you breathe easier…

2. Veggies, like carrots and potatoes, boost your immunity – so you can fight off infection.

3. The broth can help clear your sinuses! Clear, thin fluids, like broth, thin out your mucus. Plus, staying hydrated helps your body fight infection. And warm fluids work best – because both the steam and the warmth can contribute to clearing the mucus, which will relieve your upper airway.

Do adults with children get sick more often?

If you think parents of little kids are more likely to get sick – they’re not! Adults without kids are more likely to catch colds!

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University exposed hundreds of healthy adults to the common cold virus. The result: Parents are half as likely to get sick as adults who don’t live with kids. And adults with at least 3 kids around were the best at fighting off cold germs. Why would that be? Immunity! All those kid germs not only build up a child’s immune response, they help the parents become resistant too.
