The common cold is considered to be one of the most infectious diseases that affect adults, seniors, and children. This illness can account for the absence from school and work and thus cause a lot of upheaval in one’s life. Catching a cold is not as easy as most people think it is. The human body’s natural defenses will normally tend to fight off most viruses that enter the body. But there is a definite correlation between the risk of a person catching a cold and the hours spent in the company of a person who has been infected with a cold bug. This is the usual explanation for why entire families tend to catch a cold together.

The commonest way or method by which a person catches the cold infection is through hand to hand contact. Thus, when a person is suffering from a cold, it is advisable that they wash their hands as frequently as possible and also avoid shaking hands with others. If they sneeze or cough, it is advisable that they cover their mouth with a disposable tissue and not a kerchief as a kerchief can become a breeding ground for germs. If a person is overly tired or weak, then the chances of them catching a cold are much higher. There are various remedies and treatments to help a cold go away.

Juice for cold is one among these remedies. In particular orange juice for a cold has been advocated by many experts and dieticians. Of course an often asked question by many people is ‘is orange juice good for a cold’. Orange juice contains high levels of vitamin C which is essential in fighting the common cold. Aloe vera juice and orange juice are among the best juices for cold reduction. Making fresh juices at home from freshly squeezed oranges is preferable to packaged orange juice. When consuming fruit juice for a cold or sore throat, it is important that the juice should be room temperature or slightly cool; but not cold. If you wish to add water to the orange concentrate, one should ensure that the water is purified and is not tap water. Squeezing a lemon into a glass of water is also recommended and adding a spoon of honey will help to increase its effectiveness and palatability. Vegetable juice for a cold is also recommended as vegetables contain several nutrients that help to boost the immune system and fight off an infection. Fresh mixed vegetable juice for a cold is a commonly used home remedy to help decrease the length of the recovery period. Children may not want to have mixed vegetables juice for a cold and so this can be added to a hot soup or broth.
 
Children in day care are more prone to catching cold than others. Normally a cold will last for around 8 to 10 days. But at times a cold can even last up to 3 weeks. Fever and cough can very often go hand in hand with a cold and should be watched out for. Getting adequate amount of rest is vital in making a quick recovery from any illness and especially a cold.

One can drink different types of fruit or vegetable juices for cold and flu relief.

Orange juice for common cold in children is also extremely beneficial. Lemon juice for colds also helps. This is because the juice of one lemon has about eighty percent of vitamin C recommended for our bodies. These high levels of vitamin C give a boost to the immune system, and this in turn allows our body to fight infection, thus cutting short the life of the cold virus. Drinking lemon juice mixed with a glass of warm water to which a dash of honey is added is a great juice recipe for colds.

Make sure that you use fresh juices for cold relief. Making your own juices at home from fresh fruits or vegetables is preferable to packaged juice. Also make sure that the fruit juice you consume for cold is at room temperature. If you wish to dilute the fruit juice ensure that the water you use is purified water and not plain tap water. Here’s another recipe for a hot fruit cordial that helps give relief from cold symptoms in a couple of minutes. Take about ½ a cup of black currant juice and apple juice and heat it to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Drink this mixture when slightly warm for immediate relief. The content of vitamin C in black currants is extremely high and helps reduce the symptoms of cold quickly.  Black currant juice and apple juice have properties that help combat a runny nose and congestion. Black currants are also high in tannins that are known to kill viruses under controlled conditions.

Try these juice options for flu. Cranberry, pear, and pomegranate juices are quite helpful for fighting flu. If you find these juices too sweet, dilute them with some water. Vegetable juices for a cold is also a great option as vegetables are high in nutrients that help ward off an infection and helps boost the immune system. Vegetable juice that is freshly mixed makes for a great cold remedy and shortens the length of your recovery period.  Children may not like the taste of vegetable juice so try adding it to a hot soup or broth. Here’s an anti-flu juice remedy that really works. Blend together one small beet, a few cloves of garlic, half of a purple onion, the juice of 8 limes, some Chinese parsley, and some honey (1 spoonful). Drink this juice for a quick cure.
