Beating a Cold

I knew I was getting sick last week and I spent this past weekend and yesterday recovering (except for staying out late at a Halloween party Saturday night...I'm not perfect). But I did a bunch or research (read: looked over a few online articles) about some of the best and worst foods for fighting colds. Here are some of the foods I ate this weekend and why they were good or bad for my cold. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes/good choices.

Do Drink:
1. Cold-Pressed Fresh Juice (aka the ones that are like $6-9 a bottle)
Cold-pressed juice ensures that all of the fruit's nutrients remain intact unlike heated pasteurization which robs the fruit of most of it's nutrients. Drink juice in moderation when you're sick and try to stick to a green juice that will be less sweet than say an apple juice.
Evolution's Super Green Smoothie is delicious and even has a snip of
wheatgrass in it which gives it an extra cold-kicking punch!
