The cold season is upon us again! Boo! In fact there have been more than a few people out sick the last few weeks! Today I want to discuss one simple, and overlooked way to stay healthy this cold season!
A visit to the store for preventive cold remedies will present with you with many options from tablets to sprays! The truth about these products is 95% of them are ineffective, 3% are fruits and vegetables and 2% of these remedies do the same things fruits and vegetables do!
I know what you are thinking, “Of course he would say that”, and although I have no data, to back it, I can say from working with many people, over the years, that people who eat a lot of whole foods get sick less. Also, there has been plenty of research conducted that backs this claim! Lets not get too nerdy though, I would rather hope you can trust my advice and follow through with the actions discussed below!

Actions to Avoid Colds
1. Don’t Smoke- Hopefully this one is a given, but if not, know that the chronic damage done to the lungs make them vulnerable to more colds, and other seasonal viruses like broncitis.
2. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables(Preferable Fruit)- Fruits are loaded with antioxidants, and have serious power over the viruses trying to attack are cells and make us sick. Taking in more fruit and vegetables will increase your odds of staving off the sicknesses that you are bound to encounter.
3. More Smoothies- Smoothies, when made correctly are packed with antioxidants. And a smoothie is a delicious, refreshing way to stay healthy. If you are interested in learning more about smoothies, and the correct way to make them please click here!
4. Get Rest- If you are trying to avoid sickness this season you must make a plan to get plenty of rest! Your body is working overtime while you are awake, and tends to use the time you are asleep to assure your body is not exposed to and overtaken by viruses. We all know, 8 hours is the right number, so make a plan to get at least close this season
