How To Fight Bed Bugs

Foods that enhance your immune system's capability to keep you salutary are: (I'll bet you guessed!) fruits, nuts and vegetables, raw garlic and omega three oils.
Eat lots of these and your immune system will have the tools it needs to fight the colds and flu you are exposed to this year.

Foods that sacrifice your immune system's capability to keep you salutary and may growth your chances of getting the latest bug are sugar and white four, in any form. Many citizen know sugar is bad for us, but did you know that white flour has basically the same effect on your body's capability to fight the germs that cause illness. Foods made with these bleached products taste great, but lower your body's capability to fight off the every day exposure to illness.

With Halloween advent up, it may be difficult to avoid eating a few candies. So, if you indulge and feel the flu advent on, take a few of these immune system boosters and get your immune system right back into tip-top shape. Start with mom's advice and take vitamin C. If your illness is caused by too much white sugar, the white sugar is competitive with vitamin C for absorption into your cells. Taking vitamin C "to bowel tolerance" helps the absorption of C into your body.

My second favorite formula of avoiding illness is eating raw garlic. You can just chew it up or go to my website www.ShoppersGuidetoHealthyLiving.com [http://www.ShoppersGuidetoHealthyLiving.com], click on salutary Hint and then click on garlic in the lower right angle for other fun ways to eat garlic. It is an astounding immune system booster. Very often, these first two methods will forestall the cold or flu from ever taking hold. If you do authentically get sick, just load up on echinacea, elderberry, goldenseal, vitamins Ace & zinc (there is authentically a pill called just that - Ace & zinc) selenium, wild cherry bark and horseradish root. You can also drink teas made of chamomile, peppermint, ginger, thyme and cinnamon. Cayenne pepper can be added to the soup of your selection to break up congestion.

We often use peppermint oil (don't drink it!) in a bowl of steaming water for the ill someone to breathe in and then rub more peppermint oil on their chest before going to bed at night. It kills germs, opens the airway and helps the private breathe more easily.

Use these methods along with the age old advise of washing your hands, exercise, cover your mouth, get fullness of rest and sacrifice your stress levels and you may feel best this year without a flu shot than you ever have before.

Of course, if you have a compromised immune system, you should consult your condition practitioner before changing your routine.
