Sorry, but the cold season is in full swing. You’re spending time indoors, sharing space with everyone else’s germs. Fortunately, you’re not without options for cutting your risk. Washing your hands frequently, for example, will limit exposure. Insofar as supplements go during this critical season, a 1000-mg dose of vitamin C, taken three times a day, is more effective than one mega-dose of regular or time-release capsules. Small amounts more frequently is typically the best rule when it comes to vitamin dosing and eating for that matter. Echinacea is found in many sources and will assist in building white blood cells that boost immunity. Zinc is also very important for the immune system, and is more stable since it is a mineral. Take 40 mg. once a day, or twice a day if you’re very susceptible to colds.
Limiting sugar intake will enhance immunity since sugar is a primary source of food for all the bacteria and viruses planning attack.
