【No. 0260】Cold and Coke

Sep 4, 2015 10:35
I have had a sore throat since yesterday, so I could have caught a cold.

At time like this, I found the information that a Coke is good for a cold.

According to the Internet, this information is common in the West (especially France), but I think most Japanese people don't know this.

Originally, the Coke had been released as a cold medicine.

Medical evidence has not been proven, but it seems to have effects, such as relaxation of headache and throat inflammation, and improvement of indigestion.

Today, I will buy and drink a Coke.

By the way, in Canada, a cold sufferer seems to drink Ginger Ale.
風邪とコーラ

昨日から喉が少し痛いので、風邪をひいてしまったかもしれません。

そんなとき、風邪にコーラが効くという情報を見つけました。

ネットによると、欧米(特にフランス)では常識とのことですが、日本人は知らない人が多いと思います。

そもそもコーラは、風邪薬として発売されていたそうです。

医学的根拠は立証されていませんが、頭痛・のどの炎症の緩和、消化不良の改善などの効果があるそうです。

今日はコーラを買って飲もうと思います。

ちなみに、カナダでは風邪をひいたときジンジャーエールを飲むそうです。

  • At time like this, I found the information that a Coke is good for a cold.
  • At time like this, I found information that Coke is good for a cold.

    or "I found out that coke is good for a cold" I think "I found out" is informal/casual.

  • Medical evidence has not been proven, but it seems to have effects, such as relaxation of headache and throat inflammation, and improvement of indigestion.
  • Medical evidence has not been proven, but it seems to have effects, such as relieving headaches, throat inflammation, and helps indigestion.

    I never heard of "improvement of indigestion" so I changed to "help" which I hear more.

I didn't know this! Next time I get a cold, maybe I'll have to try drinking some Coke.

Thank you very much always for correcting my post! :D
I heard hot Coke is more effective for a cold. It doesn't sound like delicious, though.
