Miserable with Cold or Flu Symptoms? Try These!
It’s that time of year here in New England. We had our first snowfall of the season over the weekend. In addition, it’s also cold and Flu season. And I’m feeling it. Today I was miserable with cold or Flu symptoms and remembered what I need to do and thought I would share with you.
Elderberry Syrup
Elderberry Syrup is one of my “go-to” for preventing and/or fighting the common cold, Flu and other ailments. Elderberry Syrup is a natural immune boosting remedy containing the power of Elderberries.
Elderberries are known for their high antioxidant capacity. The flavonoids in elderberries and elderflowers include quercetin, and are recognized for their ability to protect cells and to promote healthy inflammation response. One of the most popular ways to take elderberry is in a syrup. Read more about Elderberry Syrup
Cranberries
Cranberries are another one of my favorites for preventing and fighting colds and Flu. Cranberry juice has long been used for curing a variety of illnesses. Cranberries are packed with health-boosting antioxidants, including vitamin C and flavonoids. Fresh cranberries are best. Store-bought cranberry juice typically contains high-fructose corn syrup and other additives, which will work against the healthy benefits of the cranberries.

Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which reduces oxidative stress to the body. Vitamin C is important for many bodily functions. It is essential for health and may help treat some diseases. Including these Vitamin C rich foods in your diet will help keep you healthy: guavas, bell peppers, kiwi fruit, strawberries, oranges, papayas, broccoli, tomatoes, kale and snow peas.
Sleep and Stress
Getting plenty of rest and reducing stress will also help your immune system function optimally.
Suffering from anxiety, stress, insomnia, and depression can compromise your immune system making it difficult to fight off sickness and disease. If you suffer from one of these conditions, try CES for potential relief. CES devices helps with pain, stress, insomnia, anxiety and depression… without drugs!
