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。這是一種油性的物質，大蒜的特殊味道就來自于這種物質。大蒜素有強大的抗氧化作用，已有醫學研究證實，服用大蒜素能夠預防感冒、縮短感冒病程。研究表明：無論是做飯的時候加入大蒜還是服用脫水大蒜粉、大蒜油、大蒜提取物等大蒜制劑，都能有效且安全地防治感冒。
