First, keep the fruits and veggies in full swing! Have your OJ and take your whole foods multivitamin in the morning with breakfast. Keep breakfast healthy and make sure you have breakfast! Keep the body healthy by giving it nutritious fuel, and not causing it extra stress!
Keep dairy at a minimum. That is correct...little to no dairy so that the system is less acidic and the mucus doesn't have a chance to increase. Drink lots of water and keep those sinus cavities clear. Niel-Med makes a great nasal rinse complete with bottle and pH balanced saline mixture packets (appx. 50 of them!) to help make it easy to combat the sinus infection via cold, virus or allergy. It is awesome, and nobody needs to know you actually do it if you are sensitive about it. But it beats weeks of sinus pressure and pain and keeps you healthy.
Keep your foods fresh and organic when possible. Better nutrients ARE in there. Keep active to keep that immune system up, and wear the activity and weather appropriate clothing to protect yourself from the elements. Stay dry in wet weather, and drink plenty of water in all weather. Drink some tea-green is the best, and a bit of hot chocolate is a great treat and immune helper, too! It doesn't have to be dairy...so don't worry about that.
Keep foods higher in vitamins A and C in the diet rather than taking a pill. Beta Carotene is absorbed in the body best from the food sources and is very good for your kidneys, too. Sweet Potatoes, pumpkin, squash, yams, carrots, yellow peppers, oranges, tomatoes, kiwis, and berries are a great way to keep your system in good shape. Throw in lots of greens too!
A little boost with some Acai Berry, spirulina, and chlorella for a great defense...as long as you are not prone to allergies to specific molds that spirulina and chlorella may belong to. Always keep food allergies in check!! Check with your physician for all allergies and any specifics in your diet that may inhibit these things from benefiting you.
At last, a huge factor in viral defense is Elderberry Syrup. This wonder extract works wonders in keeping virus cells at bay by destroying them when the body has enough nutrients to give it the help it needs. If you can support the body through nutrition, fitness, and the little extras like Elderberry Syrup, you stand a very good chance of keeping illness at bay through this season of colds, flus and viruses. You don't have to take my word for it, just try it yourself. Stop at your local health food store and ask for Elderberry Syrup extract. You can take it and drink liquids with it, as it will still work. Amazon Thunder is my choice for Acai Berry products.
