How To Stay Healthy?

The season of colds and flu is quickly approaching. But there are a few things we can do to help shorten the length. Mind you, catching a cold isn’t always a bad thing. Sneezing is just your body’s way of expelling unwanted toxins and a high fever, or fever, helps burn off the toxins before they burn your healthy cells. So to get a cold for a brief period can actually be a great thing.

Immune system

We often feel far better after our ‘cold’ has gone, than we did ahead. What we will need to prevent, is enabling our immune systems to become overworked all year round we succumb to colds too often, and they continue too long. This is more of a chronic condition which reveal that our immune systems aren’t coping. Eat lightly, relying mainly on vegetables and fruit. Include a lot of foods rich in vitamins A and C, such as citrus fruit, dark blue and red berries, mangoes, apricots, carrots, beetroot, green peppers, leafy greens, and blue green algae.

When you’re below level, avoid stimulants like coffee and alcohol. These all increase anxiety, which may depress your immune system. Drink at least 8 large glasses of water every day. One way to remind yourself is to get a 11/2 or two litre bottle of still mineral water always with you, and finish the bottle before the end of the day. It’s beneficial to decant some into a small water bottle to carry around with you. Make certain that you get optimum levels of vitamins and minerals daily by taking some blue green algae or some fantastic excellent multi-supplement with your breakfast.

Vitamin C

It helps maintain a strong immune system. Most animals make their own vitamin C in massive amounts when they are sick, but humans are not able to make vitamin C. It’s a good idea to take additional amounts when you’re surrounded by colds and influenza. Colostrum is particularly beneficial for prevention and cure of colds and influenza, in addition to being beneficial for allergies and digestion – Colostrum is safe and great for infants and kids too. Get loads of fresh air and breathe deeply.

This helps the lymphatic system to maneuver your immune cells around the body. If you’re fortunate enough to live by the sea, then benefit from the healing air. And last but certainly not least, get enough relaxation, sleep and rest. It’s during sleep your body repairs itself. These tips should help you to shorten the length of any colds. And remember, that even if you do catch a cold, so long as it only lasts two or three days, it is a fantastic chance for your body to have a fantastic cleanout.
