Can speed recovery: Garlic has a long history of folk use for treating colds. While I have not seen good research on this it is safe to try and many people have found it useful. When garlic is freshly crushed you get allicin which has proven antiviral activity; see http://homeremediesforlife.com/garlic-for-cold/
A better proven remedy for colds is pellargonium sidoides, sold as Umcka; see http://tinyurl.com/ztoepsy

Question 10

what are the health benefits of eating a late dinner?

Accepted Answer

None: It's advisable to not eat after 7 pm normally. If you eat late, it makes it difficult for your G.I. Tract to digest the food properly, and process it when it should be actually in a resting/ fasting state when going to bed. The body operates best when it's in the fasting state for at least 10 to 12 hours with no food. You'll sleep better, and you'll wake up in a more metabolically balanced state.
