Cough home remedies: Drinking warm fluids can offer relief from constant cough and cold

Changing weather brings with itself more cough, cold, flu and other viral infections. And while these diseases are usually harmless and heal slowly with the right diet and proper rest, they can affect your day-to-day functioning for several days, even weeks. Things may definitely be easier for those with stronger immunity and the ones who have been living a healthier lifestyle. But for others who are suffering from any vitamin or mineral deficiency and a weak immune system, recovering from cough and cold can be difficult and more time-taking. Nonetheless, a few foods and drinks can help you recover quickly and effectively from constant cough. One such fruit juice is pineapple juice, which has been found to be effective for soothing symptoms of cough and cold.

According to a 2010 study, nutrients in pineapple juice can help in soothing symptoms of cough or cold. Pineapple juice was part of an effective treatment for tuberculosis. It was found to soothe the throat and dissolve mucus. In the study, a mixture of pineapple juice, honey, salt and pepper was found effective in reducing symptoms of cough up to five times faster than an over-the-counter cough syrup.
