How to beat the flu

How to beat the flu:

Vit D3.
The vitamin D council suggests adults take 5,000iu/daily. Children take 1,000- 2,000iu/daily. Infants take 400iu/daily. Vit D3 has been shown to have more success at beating the flu than vit C. My fav brand is Carlson. It comes in a tasteless liquid that is easy for all ages to take.

Probiotics/Acidophilous.
Yogurt just doesn't cut it. It is recommended to supplement with different brands each time you finish a bottle so that you are ingesting a variety of strains. My favorite brands are: New Chapter, ReNew Life, Dr. Ohiras, Jarrow, Garden of Life and Good Belly.

Raw Garlic with a large meal. Adding it last to the meal so that it is not cooked, is best. Precaution: Garlic is a blood thinner. If you are on prescriptions, or about to have a surgery, speak w/ doctor 1st before adding large amounts of raw garlic to diet.

Do: Eat more RAW fresh fruits & greens. Why raw? cooking not only weakens the strength of the vitamins and anti-oxidants, it completely destroys the enzymes which are needed to digest the food properly. Think dark. The darker the more nutritious. Blackberries, Cherries, Kale, Spinach, etc.

AVOID: Sugar, Caffeine, Processed/Preserved foods, Canned foods. All these actually stress our bodies out and weaken the immune system.
