NATURALLY BALANCED HEALTH - Holistic Wellness

PREVENTING a COLD or FLU is much simpler than you know.

You cannot catch a Cold or Flu unless you already have a weakened immune system. A weak immune system is self-induced. Unhealthy dietary habits lacking in balanced nutrition and supplements or insufficient healthy fluids are one contributing cause for immune deficiency. A second cause is improper cleansing of produce or washing of hands. Third cause for "catching" a cold or flu is the flu vaccine. The proponents in the Flu vaccines will further weaken an already stressed immune system.

1.) Consume healthy food choices -

Vegetables are the healthiest food for you. Not only in strengthening your immune system, it assists with improving bowel elimination, especially the dark green leafy vegetables: spinach, beet leaves, parsley, cilantro, kale, mustard greens, turnip greens, arugula, carrot leaves, celery leaves, field greens, red or green leaf lettuce, Boston, Bibb, or butter leaf lettuce. Eating a healthy variety of fresh vegetables a minimum of two times per day that are prepared raw, steamed or lightly sautéed is a primary defense in preventing immune deficiency. Note, corn and potatoes are not vegetables they grains.

Consider consuming greater amounts of fresh fruits rather sugary foods including honey and molasses. Dried fruits, which are very high in sugar concentration, are highly dehydrating thus leading to constipation. If you choose to consume dried fruits, be sure to reconstitute them by soaking in water overnight.

Healthy beverages, primarily fresh pressed vegetable juice or water are essential for cleansing your system. Thus, sipping and nixing the water with your saliva, rather than gulping water, allows for improved digestion and absorption of water for healthier organs and immune boost. Toxins are more easily eliminated through the drinking of healthy beverage choices. If you are not experiencing healthy bowel eliminations following each meal than you are constipated. Constipation is impaction of food waste matter that becomes hard, dark in color, old, odorous and broken into varied size pieces.

Vitamin C: There is a variety of sources of vitamin C. Two popular sources are ascorbic acid or a blend with citrus bioflavonoid. Locate one that is suitable for you.

Vitamin C rejuvenates healthier cell reproduction. As your cells split and divide, you want them to become stronger and healthier which further enhances and improves your immune system.

Probiotics also know as Acidophilus: Potency, dosage and frequency depends upon your health or poor health condition. Best to concur with knowledgeable health care provider. Consider a minimum of one capsule containing ten billion Lactobacillus, bifidus etc. three times per day. If you happen to be taking antibiotics then doubling or tripling the potency would help maintain healthy "Flora" bacteria in your system.
