Cold and flu season is in full force. A good way to prevent catching anything is to get an acupuncture treatment at the first hint of symptoms, (sore throat, body aches, chills and fever). There are also foods you can incorporate into your diet that will assist in keeping your immune system strong.
These include:
basil ginger
black pepper leeks
caraway mustard leaf
cayenne onion
cinnamon peppermint
coriander rosemary
garlic sage
scallions
It is also a good idea to reduce or omit foods that cause congestion. The biggest offenders are dairy, wheat, sugar, and anything with saturated fat.
Stay healthy this season! With a good diet and steady acupuncture, your body's defenses will be strong.
