A New Year to be flu-free

The holiday season is over and many people are feeling under the weather. The flu bug has invaded several bodies and individuals feel sick. If your immune system is comprised then it puts you at a higher risk for catching the bug.

When you have diabetes it is imperative to keep your blood sugars in the normal range as much as possible. Otherwise, you put yourself in a high risk for catching the flu bug.

When the body has a superior immune system it can fight off the flu bug easily. Just like your home, if it has a solid foundation it can withstand a storm. How do you build your immune system? By consuming the proper foods and nutrients for you as an individual, drinking plenty of alkaline water, reducing stress, exercising regularly, receiving adequate sleep at night, taking time to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. Remember, you are not a robot...so stop acting like one 24/7. It seems like no one even knows how to relax anymore. They cannot live without the TV, computer, I-Phone, I-Pad, which is so sad. However, as a society we are paying the price with our own lives. Type 2 diabetes is not only epidemic in adults, but children as well. Why? People not only want fast food but a fast life.

If you are feeling sick with the flu bug or cold there is a product your Grandma probably told you about. Not only can you buy it for less than a $1.00, but you might even have it in your kitchen cabinet. There are so many uses for it, but this one is essential to your health. Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda fights against colds, the flu bug...even the Swine Flu. Also, it reduces heartburn, acid indigestion, upset stomach, and even whitens your teeth. Be sure and check first with your doctor before using.
