Gimme all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals pleeeease!

It’s cold and flu season and unless you are planning on quitting socialization (and your job!), chances are you are widely exposed to this illness. Worse if you have kids in school.

This week alone, I had two kids down with a cold and while I cared for my little patients, I silently prayed that I wouldn’t catch it. It’s been a few years since I last got sick, and as far as I am concerned I want to keep it this way.

It’s when I decided to power up my plate with all the vitamins (especially Vitamin C!) that I could get from nature to strengthen my immune system to fight it’s best fight, when under attack. While there are NO guarantees that a healthy and balanced diet will prevent all diseases, I know for sure that I have a better fighting chance.
