Student colds carry an uncomfortable existence and a health threat to the whole family. But most of all children suffer from the cold, as their immunity is not completely formed and requires support. By winter, you can prepare in different ways. One mom visits the nearest pharmacy, stores a mountain of tablets, ointments, sprays and teas for a cold and wait for trouble. Others are trying new ways to help their child avoid illnesses. It is not for nothing that it is considered better to prevent the disease than to treat it. In this article you will find several recipes, which, hopefully, will help your child not to get sick this winter.
Recipe number 1. Chicken bouillon.
Few people know that this fragrant, light, delicious soup is also extremely useful! Scientists have proven that the broth contains substances that reduce the amount of mucus secreted by the body, and in the same way help it to cope more effectively with the infection! No wonder many mothers from childhood spoil their children with this delicious medicine.
Recipes for cooking chicken broth can be found in plenty. Here's one of them.
You will need: chicken, onion head, several cloves of garlic, medium-sized carrots, a little black peppercorn, a little seasoning of curry, parsley and dill greens (can be dried or frozen).
We take a large saucepan. Great, because the main ingredient in this medicine is the broth, and it should be a lot. We cut the chicken into two equal parts. One is sent to the freezer to wait for its turn, the second part is under cold water, put it in a prepared pan, pour it with water and put it on the fire. After the future broth boils, reduce the fire so that "a little gurgling", cover the pan with a lid and weak the chicken for about an hour. Covering the pan with a lid is very important - this will help us to save 40% more vitamins.
While the chicken is languishing, we cut carrots, onions, we press garlic. It is better to do this just before you send all this splendor into the pan - again, more vitamins will remain. Immerse the sliced vegetables in the water, add a couple of peas of black pepper, and if necessary - top up the boiled water instead of the one that evaporated.
We prepare our broth for another fifteen minutes, after which we add salt, a little curry (if you did not cook with curry - be careful, it's an acute seasoning, it's easy to overdo it!), Chopped greens. We close the lid and weak for another 10 minutes. All! Delicious broth is ready! It's time to call the young tasters for delicious healing procedures!
