Vitaminbomb


Vitamins always come handy. No matter what the current season is, a re-energising, refreshing and revitalizing *vitaminbomb* will do good for your body. 
The following vitamin-drink is a great mixture for curing a cold. If you need to get rid of a cold, you should consider to try the following:

Take one lemon (no lime) and squeeze its juice. Add one tablespoon of honey and half a teaspoon of cinnamon. Mix it well and wait about 5-10 minutes, until the honey melts and merges with the lemon and the cinnamon.
Clean a clove of garlic and either grate it in the lemon-mix, or eat it by itself after the lemon-mix.
Yes, it sounds awkward, but it's bearable and all the ingredients does wonders with your body and health:




Lemon:

Same as with honey, Egyptians have also known its benefits and used cinnamon as a treatment of conditions such as coughing, arthritis, or sore throats. Researches say, that cinnamon may lower blood sugar in people with diabetes and lowering cholesterol. It may treat yeast infections, however it hasn't been proved.
