7. Spicy foods

Unless you experience heartburn every single time after eating spicy foods, welcome them to your life as often as you can. Almost all spicy foods contain capsaicin, a powerful compound that’s generally used in pain-relieving patches and gels.

The more we dig into the problem, the more we’re discovering. 

For instance, do you know why you’re having a runny nose when you’re eating spicy foods? It’s not just about consuming spicy foods, but what’s actually find in them! Capsaicin is the culprit. It breaks up mucus while clearing out the passages of your sinuses.

That’s why is easier to expel after eating spicy foods. Plus, capsaicin is used in nasal sprays meant to relieve itching and congestion.

However, we will repeat ourselves: don’t eat anything spicy if you have stomach issues; it can cause pain, bloating, and even nausea.

8. Bananas

While colds can make your body go bananas, the actual fruit can get your life back on track in an instant. And who doesn’t love bananas? Even going bananas sometimes is healthy for our own sake. *So, you don’t have to tell me twice to eat them. It’s not a burden, on the contrary.

They are tasty and provide some essential nutrients.

Another reason to eat bananas more often is the fact that they contain soluble fiber. If you’re dealing with diarrhea, bananas are the best option, because of the type of fiber found in them, they relieve diarrhea.
