Colds and Flu

Well Christmas and New Years has come come gone.  Im sure during this holiday season we all have filled up with lots of food that we might not have eaten otherwise. Besides stretching our waistlines a bit, some of the types of food and excess of food could have weakened our immune system. After the winter holiday festivities many people seem to come down with a cold or flu, weakened immune systems allow this to happen.
Next year plan ahead and be careful not to compromise your immune system. It is important to keep up with foods rich in the antioxidant rich vitamins such a C & E. Using lots of Garlic helps as well.  To make sure you're getting enough of these you might consider using supplements.  If you feel like you're coming down with a cold try using some Organic Oil of Oregano which has natural anti-viral properties.
The foods we may over indulge in can help weaken our immune system, chocolates, sugar filled pastries and lots of dairy are often the culprits. If you keep an eye on not over indulging in these, and get plenty of exercise, plus take the recommended supplements you could face the New Year cold and flu free.
