COMMON COLD AND FLU
There are many things we can do to help prevent the common cold and flu. Commonsense tells us to keep warm and out of sudden temperature changes from warm air conditioning to a cold day. Nutrition is also very important.
Recent studies (see Immune System) show that vitamin C can have a very helpful effect in helping prevent and/or reduce the symptoms of colds and flu.
We need to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and, as new scientific evidence suggests, a supplement to these 2000 mg of vitamin C each day is beneficial. A good form of vitamin C is one that contains ascorbic acid and the salts of vitamin C, sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate and bioflavonoids. These bioflavonoids occur naturally with vitamin C.
The herb, Echinacea is mentioned in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia for its anti-viral properties. It stimulates the immune system and with garlic, destroys the invading bacteria and viruses.
The fatty acids in cod liver oil help reduce inflammation and make breathing easier. The vitamin A content helps strengthen the mucous membranes.
