Berries
You can’t go wrong snacking on berries—especially since they’re the best food for a cold. That’s because berries—such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries—are a hydrating source of vitamin C. “Vitamin C functions as an antioxidant and plays an important role in immune function,” explains Alex Miller, MS, RDN, the corporate dietitian at Medifast. He recommends getting your fill using fresh berries when possible: Add them to yogurt, cereal, salads or smoothies. “Have fun with it—make a parfait with low-fat yogurt, fresh berries, nuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon.”
