Me vs. The World
Why is it in February we are engaged in a fearsome battle against cold and flu? First the men, then the women, then the kids, then the neighbours, and last of all, you, yourself. Coughing, sore throat, fever, they are dropping like dominoes! You may be sick, but you still have to take care of everyone. Oy!
Keeping family members healthy
My daughter is in 6th grade. Every day she is exposed to kids and adults who are in various state of cold and flu sickness. I keep her healthy and vibrant by giving her the supplements below every day to support her health. Keep in mind that for serious illness you should speak with your care provider.
- 1 tbl Barleen’s Total Omega 3-6-9. A great immune support. Fantastic taste of oranges sweetened with xylotol. So yummy you can eat it on ice cream. No joking!
- 1 tbl Manuka honey- loads of great enzymes and immune supporters.
- Everyday Ginger Tea, and the Nettle Mint tea (not just for menopause, kids and husbands like it too) from last week are favourite drinks of hers that also support better health.
