4. Garlic
Garlic has a lot of benefits, and many nutritionists suggest eating is often to help fight off illnesses and diseases. It has antiseptic, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. Just eating a small piece of garlic daily can help prevent a sore throat and speed up the healing process if you already have one.
If you don’t like the taste of garlic, you can use garlic oil and mix it with water. The water hides the taste but doesn’t take away the benefits. You can gargle the garlic and water mixture and then spit it out or swallow it. You can also take garlic pills.
These tend to be very strong and can actually kill some of the good bacteria in your body. If you take garlic pills, you should also take a probiotic or eat a good amount of yogurt with live cultures. This will help keep the healthy bacteria alive and growing in your body.
