Attack of the Killer Flu!!!

Hey all!! Sorry for the delay, internet was down yesterday, but shouldn't have any more problems! Hope everyone is staying strong and healthy! I thought with the huge flu epidemic I would give you a couple tips on how to stay flu free this season!!!

Of course most of them are obvious right?.......

Wash your hands, drink lots of water, and take your vitamins!




Some of the things you might not know is take your vitamin C now, not after you get sick!! Once you are sick it doesn't help your body protect against anything. Also, it is a water soluble vitamin so anything in excess with only be extracted, and then you are just dumping $$$ down the drain!



Make sure you are getting those zzzz's in!! It is important to get enough rest between 7-8 hours! No more, no less!



Start adding these Immune Building foods to your diet!!
  1. Citrus fruits
  2. Garlic
  3. Yogurt
  4. Green Tea
  5. Ginger
  6. Fish/Shell fish
  7. Red and Orange Veggies
  8. Beef
  9. Mushrooms
  10. Broccoli
  11. Don't Work Out When Your Sick!
    Why?....... because right after you workout your immune system drop tremendously, then picks back up 3 t 72 hours following overly intense workouts. There may be an open window in which viruses and bacteria may gain a foothold. This can increase the risk of infection.
Alright!! Those are the tips to help build a stronger immune system and fight that nasty flu!! Stay happy and healthy!! Have a great weekend, do a fun activity!!! 

Pistols..Out!
