Fall is here!!! I already have my pumpkin candles out and have put up decorations! I love Fall! I have even begun the baking. I will be posting some great pumpkin recipes soon!
Unfortuneatly with fall comes flu season. You may have scheduled your flu shot. You stay away from friends that are sick and probably even wash your hands more than ever. What else can you do to help prevent illness this year or relieve your symptoms if you do get sick? Yes, EAT right! Though no food has specifically proved to get rid of the virus, nutrients in the following foods have shown to improve your immune system.
Salmon - Full of vitamin D. In the winter months with less daylight to expose our skin to we need to supplement. Other good sources are fortified milk and cereals.
Yogurt - Live microoganisms called probiotics. These are similar to the "good" microorganisms that live in the gut.
Water - Liquids help your body fight infections and warm liquids such as chicken soup may relieve symptoms if you get sick.
What is YOUR favorite part of this season?
