Foods that heal a sore throat ! Ginger: Lots of it eaten as close to raw as possible. Ginger is an analgesic (a pain-killer) that may alleviate the pain associated with a sore throat. It is also a good antibacterial and antifungal and can help fight the infection causing your sore throat. I love ginger and use it a lot whether I have a sore throat or not. I keep a grater handy and grate fresh ginger into soups, salads, veggie sides and meat dishes. I also love to blend it with fruits and veggie smoothies.
Cherry health benefits may also have the ability to fight off diabetes, thanks to the same blood lipid-lowering powers that help prevent heart disease. Obesity, excess belly fat and high cholesterol and triglyceride levels are all risk factors for type 2 diabetes; anthocyanins may be effective at reducing all three.
Vitamins are essential for overall health. The abundance of vitamins in cherries makes it a wonder fruit. Vitamin A keeps hair and scalp hydrated. It also regulates the production of an essential acid called Retinoic acid which is important for hair follicles.
