Arugula

When the worst of winter colds hits, steer your grocery cart toward the produce section and fill up on bitter greens, such as arugula and watercress. These fresh leafy veggies are packed with iron and vitamins A and C, and are believed to help relieve many flu-like symptoms, ranging from chest congestion to the sniffles. If salad isn't high on your list of comfort foods, try a flavor-packed sandwich like our Turkey Sandwiches with Roasted Romas, Fresh Mozzarella, and Arugula-Walnut Pesto. The pesto sauce, loaded with garlic and four cups of the leafy good stuff, adds bright flavor that you can taste through the worst stuffy nose.
