Fall is just around the corner.

My kids have started school again. We all know it won’t be long before the first flu turns up.

It’s definitely time to start boosting your immune system.

So what do you need to get you through the flue season?

• Stimulate blood circulation and the lymphatic system to remove waste
• Foods that stimulate immune system
• Foods natural antibiotic properties

Here are the top foods you need to survive this winter.

Garlic: Studies have shown that garlic is the most effective natural cold/flue remedy. Add it to your food every day or supplement. Garlic has many, many health benefits and one is that it stimulates blood circulation.

Echinacea is a well known for its stimulating effects on the immune system. Have a small bottle at home and use if you feel you might have caught something.

Vitamin C will increase your energy and boost your immune system. Many studies show that vitamin C has best effect on professional athletes. But I can’t help wonder how much they take? The RDA recommended 60mg/day. Or the 1000mg/day that more and more doctors are recommending. 60 mg/day is really only just enough to avoid scurvy .Personally I’ve had very good use of vitamin C. I take 1000 mg a day during the “flue season”.

Omega-3 is crucial for a well functioning immune system. Something no one can do without. But make sure you buy a product of good quality since fish oil can become rancid.

Honey strengthens immune system and has antibiotic properties. Use in you food but don’t heat it. Honey is a great bread spread. If you feel you are coming down with something drink fresh lemon juice with lost of honey.

Ginger and cayenne pepper stimulates blood circulation. Use then to in your food and make hot ginger tea.

Water is essential for you body to remove waste products. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. If you feel you’re about to come down with something drink even more water. Think of it as “flushing out” the germs with water.

I’ve had no flue and only 1 cold in 4 years and then I was 7 months pregnant and moving house. Apparently that was just a bit too much for me. But other than that these anti cold/flue remedies really work. Not just for me but for my whole family.
