Garlic can help beat a cold

True! ‘Yes, garlic does help boost your immune system,’ says Dora Walsh, registered nutritionist MBANT. ‘You can get it in supplement form, or you can add it to food. Chop it, fry it and eat it within a few minutes, rather than just leaving it chopped up in your fridge, because things degrade. You want everything as fresh as possible to get the best nutrition.’
