It’s that time of year again when we prepare for winter’s cold and flu season. Here are some helpful hints to be proactive and prevent illness for yourself and your family. Start right away if you begin to get sick or have been exposed to colds, flu or other infectious diseases to prevent you from getting sick!
Vitamin C Make sure to take enough to keep your immune system strong. Take more if you’re fighting a virus.
For the Flu Prevention Make sure your vitamin D3 levels are optimal. This may require monitoring by a blood test. To recover faster if getting flu-like symptoms: Oscillococcinum.
