How to avoid the cold and flu naturally

'Capture' and errors and cold and flu viruses are not inevitable, even in winter. It is so common in modern urban environments because most of us have very weak immune system because of lifestyles that are based on the low nutrient food, toxic overload, lack of rest and much stress. If your immune system is strong, then, of course, fight in the majority of infections and even if those who surround you sick can remain intact. Here are some tips on how to prevent flu and cold naturally.


Why go Natural?


Some of the chemicals in pharmaceutical drugs are potentially harmful and best avoided. Most of the drugs for the flu and the cold working by the Suppression of symptoms rather than treating the cause and encourage the mentality ' soldier in '. This combination causes often underlying true in a matter of health to be worse in the long term. Flu vaccines contain ingredients sobre as well and are only good for helping to prevent certain strains of the virus. They are not 100% effective and if your immune system is weak when you have a flu vaccine vaccine will force your tired immune system to fight against the injected virus and become even more impoverished. Vaccines and drugs provide an easy option, fast, but we must ask ourselves what is the long-term impact on health of exposure to these chemical substances ourselves and there are other options that are as effective and at the same time strengthen our bodies. The answer to this last question is a definite yes.


How to avoid the cold and flu naturally


1. Focus on prevention


Strengthen your immune system and their way of thinking. I understand that if your immune system is strong it is very likely that he will defend his body any cold and kept the influenza bacteria and viruses as they have opportunity to take. Sometimes, the susceptibility is in our mind. If you think, believe, or fear that captures each bug going around and below, it is very likely that it will. If tend to have thoughts and fears such as this I recommend using Meridian Tapping/EFT to disable them.


You can strengthen your immune system by:
Keep your lowGetting of the levels of stress of a good night's sleep safer nightsMaking that maintain good levels of bacteria, probiotic (good) in his digestive system, that is the core of your immune system systemEnsuring their vitamin d levels are optimumEating a high nutrient quality waterEating dietDrinking a lot of herbs anti bacterial anti malware, such as garlic, thyme, Rosemary, Sage and oreganoGetting out in the fresh air and Sun as often as possibleWashing his hands regularly - water and normal SOAP is fineAvoiding sugar and fructose (sugar weakens the immune system and creates damaging inflammation in your body)

2 Deal with the cause


The most important treatment for any disease is the rest. Give your body the time it takes to fight off infections. It is more effective if you start as soon as they feel symptoms. If you do that well in general can fight infection prior to keep or at least reduces the severity of the same. Of permission to get the rest you need. Who is saying what that ' soldier?'.


Treatment of the cause of cold and influenza can mean that the symptoms seem to take more clear, but is cleared and not only masked to appear again begin later. It is also often necessary to be more intensive to use natural treatments, in other words, use important dose quite frequently.


Below we present some natural treatments to treat of it working to kill bacterial and viral infection causing the cold / flu, as well as to bring relief of symptoms:
Eat soup bone of quality chicken in soup with much garlic, ginger, thyme, cayenne pepper and vegetables from choiceDrink tea ginger, thyme (especially for the cough) tea and hot drinks with fresh lemon juice manuka honeyVaporize anti bacterial anti viral oils such as tea tree, manuka, lemon eucalyptusFor pre-warm night coughing and essential a bowl andthen pour water boiling on some fresh salvia leaves. Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil and leave it in the steam room. Sage is useful for relieving cough and has sedative properties to sleep.To relieve breast pain and congestion put fresh rosemary leaves, a drop of oil of eucalyptus in a boiling pot of water or tea tree and inhaling the vapors with a towel over his head. Repeat as necessary.

It is also a good idea to avoid inflammatory foods because they can increase the pain and the burden of your immune system. Common inflammatory foods include: sugar, wheat, citrus (except lemons), refined vegetable oils, fried food, tomatoes and milk products processed. Stress is also inflammatory.


Finally, here is the recipe for my medicine homemade cough:


vinegar of cider of raw, organic Apple in 2 parts (decongestant)


3 parties unheated manuka honey (kills bacteria and relieves the throat)


1 part of quality olive oil cold pressed (home of the throat and is anti-inflammatory)


3 parts (for taste) Apple juice


2 pieces of colloidal Silver (optional - natural SOAP)


I incorporate these practices in my style of life and rarely get colds. I cannot recall the last time I had the flu. If I get a cold symptoms are minor and quickly go. I have children. They get colds more frequently than I, but not as frequently or severely as their peers.


Most of these natural health promotion practices and resources has been time tested for hundreds of years and is now also supported by scientific research. It may take a little more time and effort to maintain their health naturally, but are they worth the investment.

Start Eating Healthy

To be able to eat healthy, you need to understand what the body needs to stay healthy and functional. Your body needs food for three main reasons. Firstly as fuel, to keep us warm and supply the energy we need to stay alive and to move about and work. Secondly, food supplies the necessary materials for growth and to repair worn tissues. Thirdly we need vitamins, minerals and other substances that are necessary for the chemical processes that take place inside our bodies.

The energy supplied by food is measured as kilojoules. Two-thirds of this energy is used to maintain our normal body temperature, the normal tone of our muscles and to keep our heart and other vital organs functional and healthy. Even when we stay in bed all day we will still need about two-thirds of our normal food intake to maintain our metabolic systems. Normal activities such as getting dressed, eating, walking, working and playing requires about 3350 kilojoules. A housewife uses about 9200 kilojoules to perform her basic household tasks.

The harder we work and the more we move about the more kilojoules we use up. Whatever kilojoules we use up in our daily activities, is supplied by food, but if we consume more kilojoules / food than the body needs you will gain mass. The aim of Eating Healthy is to get the balance right.

If you are NOT currently eating healthy, it can be difficult to start such a plan. IF you truly want to live the best lifestyle possible, then it is important for you to follow these tips to start eating more healthy. Firstly, rid your home of all foods that do not fall into the healthy categories. Keep junk foods and beverages out of your house, so that you will not be tempted. Keep healthy snacks like carrot sticks, yogurt, fresh fruit, or whole-wheat crackers on hand. In case you cannot bear to toss out the sweets, try keeping something on hand, like chocolate chips. Eating a few of these won't ruin your diet but also will give you that little sugary fix you rave.

Secondly, take a few moments to learn about what foods are the healthiest for you and how they work in the body. Most people understand what fruits, vegetables, and low-fat means and that dairy products are good for you, but few people understand why.

What Does Vitamins and Nutrients Mean?

Vitamins and Nutrients nourishes the body. They consist of micro- and macro-nutrients which is essential for good health and is consumed in small amounts. These are absorbed by the body unchanged and have catalytic functions. Vitamins are classified as fat-soluble (A, D, E and K) or water-soluble (B and C). The former and vit. B12 tend to be stored in the body. Many elements present in food are essential for health such as calcium, phosphorus and potassium. Others termed trace-elements are iron, zinc and iodine.

Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are macro-nutrients and when digested turns into glucose, fatty acids, peptides and amino acids. Macro-nutrients are interchangeable sources of energy. If sufficient non-protein calories are not available, the body cannot produce proteins for tissue maintenance. Tissue replacements and growth does not occur and considerable more dietary proteins is required for positive nitrogen balance. The polyunsaturated fatty acids are termed essential fatty acids (EFA) and must be included in your diet. The EFA and B6 is crucial in the functions of the metabolism.

Fiber mainly a complex mixture of indigestible carbohydrate material is a natural and much neglected component of the normal diet. Fiber components act in various ways for instance, prevention of constipation. Many intestinal diseases ie: colon cancer, Crohn's disease, obesity, varicose veins and hemorrhoids are associated with the lack of fiber in the diet. Fruit and vegetables rich in pectins reduce plasma cholesterol by enhancing hepatic cholesterol, to bile acids and reduces the forming of gallstones. Fiber is the most important part of any diet.

Five Basic Groups of Nutrients

The key is learning about nutrients. When you understand how specific nutrients work in the body, you will be more likely to make healthy choices.

No single food is essential to our diet. What is important is to eat a variety of foods, there are five basic groups:

Proteins for building up the body. Throughout life there is a continuous breakdown and loss of body tissues. If a person does not get enough protein to make up for this loss, some of the less vital protein tissues in the body, such as muscles are broken down to maintain vital organs like the heart and kidneys. Illnesses cause a considerable loss of protein like infections, burns, broken bones and the stress after surgery.

Carbohydrates provide energy. Carbohydrates is a collective term for sugars, starches and cellulose. Most sugars are eaten in the form of sweets, jams, biscuits, cakes and drinks. A small amount is from fruit. Starches are found in potatoes, rice, pastas, wheat and maize. When we eat starches it gets broken down to glucose which is absorbed into the blood stream as a form of sugar. Cellulose is not a source of energy but it is needed in the diet, because of it's major source of fibre or roughage. It stays undigested in the intestines to promote regular bowel movements.

Fats provide energy and flavour. Fat is contained in milk products like cheese, cream, butter and meat (visible around tjops or hidden in the fibres), fatty fish like pilchards, kabeljou and eggs. Fats have several roles in the diet directly because of its nutritional value and indirectly in improving foods and making them easier to chew and swallow. Vitamins like A,D,E and K are found in these fatty foods and following a low fat diet you need to supplement these shortfalls. Fats are very important because of the energy it provides, it is twice as much as carbohydrates or protein. Fatty foods remain longer in the stomach than low-fat foods, so they provide a greater feeling of fullness.

Natural or Organic?

The term "Health Foods" include natural and organic grown fruit and vegetables, various pills and herbs. Some of these foods are nutritionally good and some such as herbs and ginseng are unproven. The term "Health Food" is very misleading since it implies that all other foods are unhealthy.

Vegetarianism: There is nothing nutritionally wrong with being a vegetarian, in fact most nutritionist recommend this type of diet because it is high in diet fibre, low in fats, more fruit and vegetables. Many vegetarians eat eggs and drink milk, on the other hand some don't use animal products at all and are as far as known very healthy.

Whole Foods: Whole foods are better than refined foods. This means that wholewheat bread and flour are healthier than white bread and flour. Choosing unrefined rice and maize rather than refined. Brown sugar is very little different from white sugar.

Organic Grown Foods: Most farmers and gardeners fertilize their soil with sulfate of ammonia, potash and phosphate ect. They also add manure and compost as much as they can find. Advocates of organic farming claims that the use of chemicals is artificial and that foods that are grown naturally are more superior. In fact there is no difference between them. Organic farmers avoid the use of chemicals, weed killers and pesticides. A few tasting trials that were carried out, could not distinguish which are organically grown and inorganically fertilized foods. Nutritionally they are the same.

Sea salt: Most salt comes from underground mines and is highly purified. It usually have some magnesium carbonate (a harmless mineral salt) added to make it flow freely. Sea salt contains natural Iodine.

Honey: Honey is simply sugar and water with very small traces of several vitamins and mineral salts. The food value of a teaspoon of honey is the same as a ? teaspoon of ordinary table sugar.

Cider Vinegar, Kelp, "Live" Yogurt and Ginseng: Cider vinegar is made of re-fermented cider, meaning, it is made in a similar way as wine vinegar. Nutritionally it provides a few calories and nothing else.

Kelp is a seaweed and a source of iodine which is an essential nutrient with a few mineral salts of lessor importance. It has no special food value.

"Live" Yogurt contains the bacteria which turned the milk into yogurt, whereas ordinary yogurt has usually the bacteria killed by pasteurisation. If it was made of full cream milk instead of skim milk powder, it would have tasted better and of nutritional value, not because of the bacteria that are still alive. The bacteria do not survive inside the human intestines and do not provide any benefits.

Ginseng is the root of a bush that grows in China and Korea. A vast range of magical properties is attributed to it, again no evidence or truth that it works has ever been found.

Balanced Vitamins: Most health shops sell tablets of balanced vitamins that have been extracted from wheat, yeast or liver instead of being synthesised in a factory. They were balanced so far as the wheat plant or the yeast or the animal's liver were concerned BUT they are not balanced for Human needs. Wheat contains very little B2. Vit B1 in yeast extract steadily falls while it sits on the shelf. The B vitamins in the liver extract will depend on how the animal was fed.

Herbs: Herbs have a mystical appeal since they were used as medicines for centuries. Some of them have no effect, some contains poison like Comfrey and Rhubarb and some contain small amounts of drugs like Fennel. Some modern medicines are extracted from herbs, quinine was originally extracted from tree bark. Pleasant drinks can be made from some herbs, leaves and petals but they have no beneficial effects.

Healthy Eating at a Restaurant: Is it Possible?

If you and your family love to eat out, you may think that this lifestyle is not good for a healthy diet. In many cases, you would be correct. You can still enjoy eating out at restaurants and maintain your healthy diet. It's all about making good food choices, which starts with learning about the nutritional value of the food you eat and what your body needs to stay physically healthy, mentally stable, and active.

When you pick up the menu, start by skipping over the alcoholic drinks section. Although you may be tempted to enjoy a beer or mixed beverage with your dinner, these usually have many "bad" calories, which is not good for your body. The exception to this rule is when it comes to wine, especially red wine, which can be fine if you have a single glass.

Skip the appetizer menu, unless it's a salad. The appetizers at restaurants are usually high-fat foods that are not meant to fill you up and can in fact make you crave for more. Examples of these are mozzarella sticks, potato skins, and chicken wings. Simply focus on the main course or if you must indulge, share a single serving with someone at your table.

Choosing the main dish is very important. Look at the ingredients of the dish. Anything with cream sauces or high-fat meats should be avoided and pass the potatoes and onion rings. Instead order side dishes like green salad and vegetables or ask for just the main course when possible.

Remember that portions is everything. Try to order from the lunch menu whenever you can, and ask for a doggie-bag right away. Split your meal in half from the start, so that you are not tempted to eat the entire plate, which is usually enough for two or three portions.

SKIP the desert menu, just like you did with the appetizers. If you have to have desert share or split your portion in half. Many fancy desserts at restaurants have more calories than your entire meal, so keep this in mind before you flag down the waitress to put in an order! Of course, on special occasions, it's alright to cheat a little, but overall healthy eating requires lots of resisting temptations around you.

Healthy Eating While Traveling

Sticking to healthy foods while traveling can be one of the most difficult things to do in your life. If you learn how to make smart choices, then healthy eating is really not that difficult. This is probably not the best time to start a healthy eating program, but if you are currently making healthy choices in your foods already, modifying your diet slightly to accommodate travel is not as it first may seem.

When you are traveling by airplane, you may have to eat airplane food which can often be of poor quality, depending on the selection. When you book your flight, ask about your food options and ask if a vegetarian dish is available. Vegetarian dishes are sometimes more nutritional in this case, but it really depends on what they will be serving. If you can eat a larger meal before your flight, you don't have to eat the meal that is served.

When driving or taking a bus, you may be tempted to stop at fast food restaurants. Avoid this whenever possible! If you're on vacation, you may wish to splurge a tiny bit, but having fast foods more than once during a week can really be bad for you. If you must, choose the healthiest options available chicken breasts and diet soda is good choices.

Remember that you can take your own food when traveling. Carrying a loaf of whole-wheat bread or pita wraps, some lean lunch meat, and low-fat cheese in a cooler is a great way to avoid high-fat and high-cholesterol junk food meals. These are much better choices and you'll save a lot of money as well. Call ahead to ask if there will be a refrigerator in your hotel room.

Lastly, make smart choices when you eat out. If you choose salads or pasta get the dressing on the side and ask about low-carb options. In fact, many places print these options directly in the menu for the health conscious people. Control your portions by ordering lunch menu sizes or splitting the meal in half and don't forget to get a doggie bag. You'll be well on your way to healthy eating, even away from home.

Yes, eating healthy foods when you travel can be a challenge. Your health is worth it. When you eat good foods, you will also fight off illnesses that you are likely to encounter when traveling and you will be more alert so that you can enjoy your trip.

Healthy Eating and Peer Pressure

Whether you are on a diet or simply enjoying a healthy lifestyle, you probably know that peer pressure to eat foods that are not good for you, is a major part of your life. If you are concerned about the food that goes into your stomach, don't worry, there are ways to overcome peer pressure. It simply takes a little know-how to get people off your back!

Parties are a major source of peer pressure, especially with alcohol. Alcohol contains hundreds of calories in just one drink take beer for an example: "one beer equals a loaf of bread" so when you go to a party, people might be pressuring you to have a drink and relax. It can be difficult to say no when they are constantly trying to convince you. Offer to go with to a bar instead. That way, you become the designated driver, they won't want you to drink and drive, in fact, they will not pressurise you to drink. It's a win-win situation for everyone.

Other times when you may feel under pressure to eat, is at work, when the boss orders lunch for everyone at a meeting or when you have to visit a client. Instead of giving in to temptation, simply politely decline the food by letting your boss know in advance or order a meal that is healthy and split the portion in half so you have a meal for tomorrow's lunch as well.

Baby showers, weddings, birthday parties, and other special events can also wreak havoc on your diet, even if you are good at resisting temptation on your own. When someone hands you a piece of cake and won't take no for an answer, it can be difficult to know what to say! Here a little white lie might be appropriate. For instance, say that your stomach was upset earlier in the day, will convince a person that you don't want to eat at the moment or pretending to have a chocolate allergy, will get people to allow you to enjoy the party without a hassle surrounding food.

Refusing bad foods is fine, you should be eating good foods.

If you do not change your eating habits, disorders can develop, which will give your family, friends and doctor a real reason to be worried about your health. It's ok to say no to peer pressure, but don't say no to food in general!

Agency for help from the home or private health care provider? 5 Things you should consider before hiring

5 Things you absolutely must be considered before choosing between a private health care provider and a health care agency.


There are several things to keep in mind to choose between hiring to a provider of private health care and the hiring of a company's support of agency or home health care provider. Probably the first thing to consider is:


1. The level and complexity of the necessary attention. The more complex your requirements, possible to find qualified people is more difficult. Need company and mistress of keys or assistance with personal care and bathroom?


2. The current situation of employment. There are private caregivers seeking independent work or is the market for health care providers? If the market in its area of carers, it will be harder to find someone and less people to choose. This also makes it more difficult to find a replacement in the event of illness or vacation.


3 - Costs may or may not be a big factor. Use a normally private health care provider will be less to use the services of a company of home support. Some people combine the two, allowing the private person or company that the leadership in the team.


4. Each employer. Private firearms, it will become an entrepreneur in the eyes of the Government. Are you willing and able to interview, check references, create a contract and calculating remittances for workers compensation, income, pension plans of the Government, unemployment insurance and any other government tax mandate employer - payment programs? Are you willing to try to find a backup if your health care provider is sick or goes on vacation?


5. Your personal protection. The private person has a criminal record check? They have enough insurance to cover an unforeseen accident, making them and? Are they linked? Agencies often have both insurance of civil responsibility and employed servitude - what is covered for injuries, damage, theft, etc.. This is one of the reasons people choose established caretaker agencies (home support companies) on private individuals.


10 Questions to ask any potential health care provider


1 - How long has the company in the business been? With the ageing of the population of the baby - boomers, many people have seen high attention as a lucrative market. Home care companies are constantly emerging. Choose someone with a track record.


2. not all levels of care, medical and non - medical you offer? Many require only non - medical care now, but that could change in the future. And change is always easier with as little possible disruption.


3 is the person or the owners and managers of the company's it professional consultant certificate in aging or certified Planner? These people go through a rigorous course of study to earn this designation. They must also take continuing education courses to maintain their skills. CPCAs and CSAs study senior health issues to finance the psychology and especially qualified to help and assist older persons and their families.


4 - What kind of background or projection is performed? Insist on a complete criminal record check.


5 Can the company or individual offers other customer testimonials? This should be easy if they have been for an indefinite time.


6 - The company has its own nurse (s) new may not require medical attention at the moment, but that could change. And also have an RN personnel consulting is a plus.


7 Is to obtain a different health care provider every time it? Its hard enough to admit he needed assistance without having a different stranger arrival at his home in each visit. Each of these people have to learn your preferences and ways of doing things.


8 - Are there additional costs for time travel, mileage, body, or in - visits supervisors? Better to know in advance.


9 - Is a book of plan and communication for care in your home?


10 Can participate the family? There will be regular communication with the family?

PH of the water - you need to know

The pH of the water varies depending on the presence of salts and other dissolved solids. Chlorine, which is commonly used to disinfect public procurement can increase the alkalinity, which means the highest number of passes.


While there are supporters of high alkaline water, there is not much logic to support their arguments. Consumption of alkali help to reduce the burden of heart by neutralizing stomach acid. However, antacids should only be used in casual, because it can interfere with absorption of nutrients.


They are also supporters of consuming just neutral liquids, such as distilled H2O. There are points on both sides of that argument. On the side distilled H20 pro would be free of lead and other contaminants.


On the side of nay, contains no minerals and minerals can be good for health. Distillation does not eliminate chemicals that are harmful to their health. And last but not least, does not taste good.


It is not only our taste buds that are involved in what you enjoy to eat or drink. It is also our brain. While we can not determine the pH of drinking water for the taste, we can certainly feel despite associated with alkali and salt associated with salts.


Our brains have been trained that she prefers chilled drinks. It is probably something of an ancestral memory. People were mobile phones from one place to another, tried to find the cool mountain springs and other sources that were colder. Animals do the same. The form of the brain help us avoid the bacteria. Bacteria thrive in warmer fluid. They cannot survive long in the cold.


The normal pH of drinking water is not too far of the distillate. It is about 7.0. Distilled is exactly 7.0, but only for a short period of time. While carbon dioxide is mixed with the H2O, becomes more acid.


Ideal for drinking pH is believed to be 7.5 according to experts of water purification. Use ion exchange to balance the pH level, remove the lead and improve the taste. But they also use other measures to eliminate chemicals that cause cancer and cysts that cause the disease.


There may be thousands of cause cancer from chemicals in the local supply. Some that are known to be present, provided that used public disinfection are trihalomethanes. regardless of the pH of drinking water, THM exposure increases the risk of a person's cancer.


Chlorine is probably not dangerous, but sorry. And trihalomethanes are by-products of chlorination. Therefore, it is beneficial to also delete that chemical. Dr. Oz told his audience in one of their shows, we must install a filter on our type to eliminate chlorine, especially if we had children.


Chlorine kills a lot of mistakes, but does not kill cysts. Cysts can only be filtered with filtration of submicronica. The best purifiers include all the necessary steps to ensure their security and to balance the pH of the water in your home.
