Can coffee help a cold

Beans are fine if you have a cold. If they're fresh, such as runner beans, then the nutrients in them will definitely help your body to fight off the pathogens. Alternatively, the heat from canned beans, such as 'Heinz Beanz', will help your mucus to work its way out of your system. Personally, I would recommend medicines, soup and onions for a cold, and wrapping up warm or snuggling in a blanket can't do any harm!
