Tackling Cold & Flu with a Friendly Punch!

Winter is here, and so are the notorious cold and flu bugs! But don’t worry, we’re here to equip you with the knowledge to handle them with ease – powerful, and seriously effective!

A big pulse of sickness beat in him as if it throbbed through the whole earth – D. H. Lawrence.

Know Your Foe: Cold vs. Flu So, you wake up with that scratchy throat and runny nose, and you wonder: is it a cold or the flu? Let’s break it down in a no-nonsense way:

Common Cold: ✧ You might get a sore throat as part of the deal. ✧ No fever for most adults, but kids might catch it. ✧ Ah, the stuffy nose! Nasal congestion is a frequent visitor during a cold. ✧ Headaches will rarely bother you. ✧ You might have a bit of a cough, but it’s usually not too bad. ✧ Say hello to sneezing; it’s almost always an issue. ✧ Aches and pains are normally pretty low level. ✧ Mild fatigue might come along for the ride.

Influenza (Flu): ✧ A sore throat might show up, but it’s not always a big deal. ✧ Brace yourself for the fever! High fever for 3 to 4 days is often what you can expect. ✧ Nasal congestion takes a back seat during the flu. ✧ Headaches might be an issue, and they’re quite common. ✧ A cough and chest infection can be more severe, especially for those with weaker immune systems, leading to complications like pneumonia. ✧ Don’t expect many sneezes; they tend to stay away. ✧ Get ready for some serious aches and pains. ✧ Severe fatigue might just slow you down.

Boost Your Defense: Diet can help! Now, let’s talk about your first weapon of choice – the food that’ll strengthen your immunity and help you fight back:

Stay hydrated so that your cells can flush the attackers out! Sip on water, herbal teas, and clear soups to keep yourself hydrated, especially if you’re dealing with a fever. ✧ Power up with vitamins from fruits and veggies! Vitamin C is a superstar for your immune system, found in citrus fruits, berries, kiwi, bell peppers, and greens. ✧ Get your protein fix! Lean meats, fish, eggs, legumes, tofu, and dairy products are all great sources of protein to support your body’s recovery. ✧ Bring on the zinc! Foods like lean meats, shellfish, legumes, nuts, and seeds can help with wound healing and immunity. ✧ Vitamin A to the rescue! Carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach, kale, and apricots are rich in vitamin A, which helps maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes. Spend time in the sun (at least 20 minutes per day) to increase your vitamin D, that immune and bone strengthening powerhouse. If you don’t have the time, we have a powerful Vitamin D supplement for you.

Remember, because of industrial farming today’s fruit and vegetables no longer contain the nutrients and vitamins that they used to. This means that you are going to have to supplement to stay well.
