It is flu season---you know that pre-winter time where it is warm-cold-warm...talking 'bout the temperatures here......Prevention beats the heck out of the cure.....water--loads per day.....sometimes having a very lite day of foods and fluids is wonderful for your system. Or a few days of this....
Green tea with honey---I love the flavored kind---did you know Panera has a delicious cold green tea?---maybe have that instead of the coke or coffee---free refills.....yea! I nice way to get a "high in antioxidants" dose of nutrition......
Go to Whole Foods and buy some vitamin C---you can take this--sick or not----What is amusing is that you can eat as much fruit and veggies as you can hold--and when the flu hits---your body will still need higher doses to counter this illness.
Probiotics are an answer to prayer---when your body's system is out of whack....Eating Yogurt--find a kind you like----is prevention at it's best---like an apple ( yes, I advocate this too) One per day......
I want to let you in on some of the amazing things I have to share regarding nutrition-prevention-and the companies that provide this.....
However, our next blog will deal with Salem, Ma.---my trip there and where to go and what is best........in that Awesome town!!!!!!
Stay healthy......take care so that you may be able to enjoy the holidays......
Just remember with all that stuff to keep sugar to a minimum. Sugar does more harm than all the good stuff put together. Which unfortunately rules out the yummy Panera iced green tea... loaded with the stuff :(
ReplyDeleteAlso most yogurts are out as they're loaded with sugar (or the artificial equivalent). Better to get a high quality plain Greek yogurt then add your own fruit and a small amount of honey. More live cultures in that too.
Absolutely, Maria...very good point on the sugars, especially if you are on a special diet. However one trip to Panera and one iced green tea with honey---we can do...haha.....As to the yogurt---ditto---even if you eat one yogurt per day...that amount of sugar should be fine in a normal diet...where you make an extremely good point...is in the fact that almost everything we eat contains sugar. So being aware of that fact is a very good thing. Thanks for the comment......keep them coming.
