The following article is a small excerpt from one of my books. I hope you’ll want to learn more and let me help you to get into the best shape of your life.
Have a cough that just won’t go away? Try this Natural remedy! It will work…and save you money.
1 cup grapes (with seeds)
2 tablespoons honey*
2 tablespoons lemon juice*
1 dash cayenne pepper*
*Adjust proportions to taste
Combine all ingredients and mix in a blender. Serve warm, as the warmth of the liquid will not only soothe the throat and lungs, but also help break down mucus buildup.
The ingredients in the cough remedy work in the following ways:
Grapes
- The seeds contain high levels of proanthocyanidins, natural chemicals packed with powerful antioxidant properties.
- They fight against lung cancer and promote positive lung cell growth.
Honey
- The texture can help soothe and protect the throat from irritation.
- Naturally fights bacteria and is helpful in attacking germs that colonize in the nose, sinuses and lungs.
- Infants under the age of 1 should never be given honey, as it can cause serious digestive complications or even death.
Lemon
- It is a natural cold expectorant.
- Soothes inflamed throat membranes
- Makes the throat less vulnerable to irritation, which can cause coughing.
Cayenne Pepper
- Capsaicin, which makes the pepper spicy, exhibits antioxidant powers, which can prevent bacterial infections. It also makes mucus thinner, which helps move it out of the lungs.
