As I wake up this morning with body aches and sore throat, I find an article, How to fight colds and flu. The article offers some remedies you can take to help bolster your immune system.
On the to do list:
- Vitamin D - According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, children who took Vitamin 2 supplements were 40% less likely to get the common flu virus then those kids who took the placebo. Although Vitamin D promotes bone health, studies indicate that the nutrient may help immune cells identify and destroys bacteria and viruses that make people sick.
- Green Tea- contains a potent plant antioxidants called, Polyphenol, which studies suggest may kill influenza viruses.
- Probiotics - this healthy bacteria, easily found in yogurt, suppress the growth of the "bad" bacteria and can activate the immune system to fight off diseases.
