According to him, with the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, it is increasingly possible to find information that such products as onions, garlic, ginger, lemon and others significantly help in the treatment of colds, and also ease the course of viral diseases.

“Such products help in the fight against diseases, but, of course, they are not a panacea. Recent studies have shown that honey and ginger fight cold symptoms even better than conventional cough remedies and nasal drops; but at the same time, the speed of recovery does not change in any way,” explained the nutritionist, clarifying that these products help relieve symptoms, but do not affect the treatment in any way. Their role is supportive. The expert categorically does not recommend hoping for their effect, especially if the disease is neglected.

However, due to the high content of vitamins and minerals in onions, garlic, ginger and lemon, they can be used on a daily basis as a prevention of diseases. For example, ginger and honey contain a lot of B vitamins, vitamins A, C and K, as well as antioxidants, which prevent the development of complications in the work of the respiratory tract and improve the overall immunity of the body.
