Yogurt is a good source of calcium, vitamins and minerals. Being a probiotic, it can help you get colds less often, heal faster and take fewer antibiotics. While some feel that it can worsen mucus, studies have shown that it doesn’t cause an aggravation in cough or congestion. Add berries to your yoghurt, another superfood that contains beneficial compounds called anthocyanins.
