Colds can strike at any time of year and the build-up of mucous associated with them can be disturbing.
We have a flight to catch in a few days and there are few things worse than pain caused by the pressure when flying with a head cold. So we are loading up on Vitamin C, ginger and pineapple with these smoothies to help fight the symptoms and clear the airways to help prevent the pain caused by blocked sinuses when flying.
The author of an article at CureJoy says that …
Pineapples contain a mixture of enzymes, together known as bromelain, which has potent anti-inflammatory benefits for your body … If you suffer from a stuffy nose and cough due to hay fever or sinus problems, bromelain could come to your rescue. Its action as an anti-inflammatory, a decongestant, and a natural antihistamine helps provide you that much needed relief when you’re bogged down by the stuffiness and heavy-headedness of these problems. [According to a study from University of Maryland Medical Center.]
