Say, stay away to colds and flu! Don’t catch a cold and don’t let colds catch you! Prevention is king.
The key to preventing colds and recovering from them quickly is to maintain a strong immune system, which means optimizing your diet, avoiding sugar, increasing your vitamin D level (10-20 min of sunlight a day will do it), getting enough sleep and exercise, managing your stress, and practicing good hand washing technique. And you know, my personal favorite safeguard is my Juice Plus! I can’t say enough about it. You and your kids would benefit greatly, even if you just do it for these 4 months.

- Since colds are viral in nature, antibiotics are completely useless and should be avoided, unless your physician diagnoses a serious secondary bacterial infection.
- Vitamin C is known for its benefits for infectious diseases. Don’t get your Vitamin C from a pill, get it from the source! Head to the grocery store and directly to the produce department. Kiwi fruits are exceptionally high in vitamin C, and research suggests kiwis may help reduce duration and severity of upper respiratory tract infections.
- Research shows chicken soup — especially when made from homemade bone broth — has medicinal qualities that significantly mitigate infection
- STAY HYDRATED!
Bottom line: Eat your fruits and vegetables, get out in the sunshine, chicken soup (homemade so to avoid high sodium), drink lots and lots of water. Schedule an appointment with your favorite health coach!
