Chicken soup can help your cold

A 2000 University Of Nebraska study reconfirmed what has been taken long ago as old wives’ tale that hot chicken soup has anti inflammatory properties which help relieve pain and discomfort.

Chicken soup thins mucus secretions during cold, making the nostrils freer, the reverse of what cold beverages do.

In the tropics, what is called pepper soup which has some other spices has the same effect, clears blocked nostrils. For those who are hate chicken, vegetable soup will do.
