Soy milk has been a substitute
for cow's milk
for four decades
and the most balanced nutritional profile

It is also popular consumed
from the phytonutrients present in the milk.
Known as isoflavones,
these phytonutrients have anti-carcinogenic properties
which can help
prevent or delay cancer.
However, some dislike the bean flavor
and there is concern about the presence of anti-nutrients
(substances that reduce nutrient intake
and digestion).
Dr Thornber said: “A dry tickly cough
can be very irritating.
Cough syrups
and lozenges can help
but won’t get rid of the cough.

How to get rid of a chesty cough:
Ditch medicine for this one ingredient hot drink remedy
Most coughs
are caused by cold or flu
and clear up within three weeks.
But the symptoms of a chesty cough are slightly different
from a dry or tickly cough
your chest feels heavy
and you may cough up mucus or phlegm.
There are a range of cough medicines
available on the market,
many that claim to help
sooth the symptoms of different types of coughs.
But what’s the best way
to get rid of a chesty cough?
Dr Andrew Thornber, chief medical officer at the Now Healthcare Group,
has recommended the best way
to cure this type of cough
and it involves hot water and one other ingredient.
He said: “Hot water
and honey is usually as good a remedy
as most over the counter cough medicines.”
But Dr Thornber added that,
if you can, chat your pharmacist
to talk about your symptoms
and find one suitable for you.
What if you’ve got a mucus cough?
Dr Thornber said:
There’s little evidence
to show chesty cough medicines work,
but your pharmacist
is ideally placed
to chat about your symptoms
and they can also advise
on decongestant treatments to help.
A good tip
is to drink lots of water
to loosen the mucus,
which makes it easier to cough up.
Also, use a humidifier
or inhale steam
from a bowl
to help clear the chest.
Painkillers
can also bring down a fever
and ease any associated headaches.
