In August, we discussed ideas to create a healthy school year. It sounds like we may need reinforcements L. Over the past couple weeks, several friends have mentioned an unwanted visitor in their house – the cold & flu bug! Although I never want to get sick, I especially want to avoid cold & flu while pregnant. If you would also like to avoid the same fate or prevent a return, try incorporating these immune-supporting habits in your daily life.
- Web-MD recommendations including rest, pure water, healthy eating, positive environment, exercise; hand washing, Disinfecting Wipes, . . .
- Vitamin D (supports health, including the immune system)
- Vitamin C (helps maintain cell integrity – healthy cells)
- Vitamin E (promotes immune function)
- Zinc (necessary to maintain normal immune function)
- Antioxidants (supports a strong immune system)
- Probiotics (see LiveStrong)
- Echinacea (when you feel that first tickle or to shorten the duration and strength of your bug)
- Garlic (natural antibiotic)
- Immune protection supplement
- Vegetable protein (makes all you consume work best)
