With
miserable weather comes miserable colds and us Brits unfortunately
tend to suffer health wise each winter from our chilly climes.
However,
whether the attack of the sniffles has just descended or you're at
the sofa, duvet and cough syrup stage, why not try a more unusual and
much more enjoyable cold remedy this year - Nando's Peri-Peri sauce.
Chilli has
been used as a traditional remedy for colds, aches and pains for
hundreds of years and, with three times more Vitamin C than oranges
gram for gram, chillies can help the body's drive to restore itself
to normal health.
As Peri-Peri
sauces contain chilli and are rich in both Vitamin C and A, as well
as combating colds, they also have proven nutritional benefits such
as being an effective decongestant, blood thinner and digestion aid.
Peri-Peri
sauces also contain no artificial colours or preservatives so you can
rest assured your cold remedy is natural and 'nasty-free'.
So, before
you catch a nasty bug or to nip your cold in the bud, try adding
Peri-Peri to your food - whether it's your beans on toast in the
morning, sandwich at lunchtime or lasagne at night - anything goes!
