帮你抵抗感冒的十种食物

Garlic
Why it’s a cold/flu fighter: Garlic contains compounds, such as allicin—an oily substance, which gives it the characteristic odor and provide its antioxidant properties. Former research published in the journal Advances In Therapy found that taking a garlic allicin-containing supplement could help prevent colds as well as shorten their duration. The research shows that both consuming garlic in cooking and taking appropriate dosages of garlic supplements, as a dehydrated garlic powder, garlic oil, or aged garlic extract, may be effective and safe in adults. Because the safety of garlic supplements haven’t been tested on children, it’s safest to stick to incorporating just the whole food—one to two cloves or more, if you prefer the taste—into your kids diet.

大蒜
大蒜中含有大蒜素。这是一种油性的物质，大蒜的特殊味道就来自于这种物质。大蒜素有强大的抗氧化作用，已有医学研究证实，服用大蒜素能够预防感冒、缩短感冒病程。研究表明：无论是做饭的时候加入大蒜还是服用脱水大蒜粉、大蒜油、大蒜提取物等大蒜制剂，都能有效且安全地防治感冒。
