AND, VITAMIN D3, and GARLIC!!!
The adage that vitamin C is good for a cold may turn out to be more true for the flu.
There is a plethora of foods and beverages alleged to be rich in anti-oxidants as well. Google will bring up dozens.
It’s always the Bama scientists who discover stuff like this.
That suggests that ingested antioxidants may help. That's good news.
No way...Just keep eating fried foods and coke....then get your flu shots and take 100 pills everyday. Eating good food is overrated. We would destroy the Pharmaceuticals if everyone ate right.
I get as many antioxidants as possible and feel excellent for now. While await the rest of the flu season to see how it goes. You name it I probably either get it daily or take it in capsule form. LOL.
More and more is being learned about antioxidants. And most fruits or vegetables with intense color and/or intense flavor are good sources of antioxidants: blueberries, cherries, elderberries, garlic, onion, muscadines, other dark grapes. Some varieties of the old, southern muscadine are thought to be perhaps the richest source of all.
I bought a juicer and have been drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juice for about a year now.
Haven't been sick during the last year at all.
my mom has cancer and it is imperative to keep the “flu bugs” away. her home healthcare aide told us that if you cut an onion in half and put it near the entrance to the home, and half in each room, it will keep the flu at bay. said one of her other patients had gotten the flu and after one day of misery, tried this in his bedroom and the next day he was better. i do not know if it really works or not but this lady swore by it. onions are full of quercitin, like garlic is, and that stuff is a pretty potent medicinal.
An apple a day?
Would anybody be interested in starting a homeopathy ping list? I’d do it, but I don’t know how.
An amazing side effect for me--it cured my toe nail fungus.
Red, red wine...
