How to Shield Oneself against Cold and Flu
August 25, 2009
The flu season is going to start and it is better to take some precautions as a preventive measure. Undoubtedly it is Vitamin C that helps to fight against flu and cold.
Begin right away, take for yourself and give your family products which are rich in Vitamin C.
What immediately strikes everyone is an orange; they are good, just like any other citrus fruit. But there are also other foodstuffs which are a lot better.
For example the amount of Vitamin C a cup of green pepper gives is 3 times the quantity required for a grown-up. And a child does not require as much as Vitamin C like a grown-up. Further more strawberries and broccoli and any other green vegetables are rich in Vitamin C.
These days’ families face a risk in the form of processed food. Grown ups and children are more inclined towards processed food which is unhealthy. So change over to wholesome and healthy food to keep your family always hale and hearty.
Some of the foodstuffs which have Vitamin C in it are Parsley, Cantaloupe, Cranberries, watermelon, tomatoes, kiwi, cauliflower, cabbage, papaya, spinach, raspberries, sweet red bell pepper, celery, pineapple etc.
You may observe that a lot of of these foodstuff can be had raw, which is very good for the health. Vitamin C is soluble in water and once cooked most of the vitamin content in it is gone. So as an alternative chop up broccoli, spinach or cauliflower and make a salad instead of cooking it.
Vitamin C deficiency can result in scurvy. The situation is where the muscle weakens and gums bleed. To evade scurvy, sailors stocked their luggage with lime, which is why British sailors are called “Limeys.”
There are also other foodstuffs to fight against flu and colds than having Vitamin C. For instance, honey. A scientist has confirmed that honey consists of an ingredient that destroys flu germs and avoids and cures flu.
Teach your kids and also you don’t forget to wash your hands regularly. Because without your knowledge you tend to touch a lot of stuff which has dust so it is better to keep our self especially our hands very clean. All this really helps to ward off flu and cold.
