Foods That Help you Fight Off Colds and Boost Immunity

It is beginning to feel a lot like winter this November: with the cold wind blowing and foggy atmosphere, it feels like winter is early this year. Although winter is one of the most beloved weathers of the country, yet it is one of the most dreaded ones as it brings clingy ailments like cold, cough, flu and fever. Even the healthiest of souls can feel that telltale itch behind their throats which feels pretty irritating.
