An “old wives tale” to make you sit up and take notice
“Carrots help your vision” is one most popular quoted
“Feed a cold starve a fever”
Another which I was a believer
No longer are they to be taken seriously or sugar coated
Yes any soup is great for a nasty cold.
Just be careful that it is not really old.
Home canned soup can be really great.
Though if the seal is gone, don’t equate.
Store bought can soup can make the heat.
With protein sandwiches definitely compete.
Frozen homemade soup if heated up just right,
Can completely win over any colds plight,
Feed a cold, starve a fever is what they say.
I believe these words truly in every way.
Maybe we should all try some old remedies.
The aged of our past had knowing of amenities.
