Recent research has found that people who consume vitamin C-rich foods when a cold starts, get rid of the cold sooner. Whether you have a cold or not, getting enough vitamin C can help your overall nutritional health. Vitamin C, along with other antioxidants, may help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain forms of cancer - so check out your intake.
Caffeine boosts energy, fights fatigue and steps up your heart rate. Which statements are true and which are hype? The answer is, all may be true. Caffeine is a stimulant which can temporarily speed heart rate, wake you up and give you a burst of energy, but the effects are short-term - which may be why you keep drinking it.
To cut back on caffeine, start gradually to avoid withdrawal headaches. Mix half decaf and half regular or try every other cup decaf. Published on 30th June, 2002

Colds got you down? Tired of fighting that stuffy nose feeling? Have you checked your nutrition lately? During the cold and flu season everyone is looking for the cure-all. While it may not be a cure-all, vitamin C can help fight colds. 
Vitamin C rich foods include the obvious oranges, grapefruits and their juices, but also include broccoli,
Brussels sprouts, cabbage, tomatoes, green peppers, strawberries, potatoes and cantaloupe. 
Caffeine acts as a diuretic, and if your only fluid intake is caffeine-based, you may notice you're always thirsty. Caffeine can also upset some peoples' stomachs. If you enjoy caffeine, keep intake in balance and try to include plenty of more nutritious beverages, like milk or juice.
