How to Fortify Your Body’s Natural Defenses
With flu season reaching its annual apex and concern about the H1N1 virus running rampant across the country, there’s never been a better time to focus on healthy living. Of course that means eating a healthy, balanced diet and sticking to a rigorous exercise routine, but there are other techniques you can use to strengthen immune system as well. In his 2007 book “Maximum Healing,” H. Robert Silverstein shares a few helpful pointers.
It’s a well-known fact that vitamin C helps bolster the body’s natural defenses, so it’s never a bad idea to take a few Nature Made time-release vitamin C supplement tablets. Maintaining clean hands is also of the utmost importance. Even if you wash your hands frequently all year round, it’s best to do so even more often during flu season. Refrain from sharing food or drinks if the other person is demonstrating flu-like symptoms.
