Health is wealth. When you suffer from poor health, it affects every aspect of your life from work productivity to overall joy. Your health is undoubtedly your most important life asset. Many people suffer from colds, flu, and other sicknesses several times a year. Is this you? If so, it’s time to get healthy for life! Here are 10 insider secrets to preventing a cold and claiming radiant health for life!
1. Drink water. Purify your body with an abundance of filtered water every day. I recommend enjoying at least 80 ounces per day.
2. Eat Garlic. It contains allicin, which fights infection. Use garlic in everyday cooking; add to stir frys, soups, and salad dressings. At the moment you feel a cold coming on, eat raw garlic cloves.
3. Try Body Balance, a delicious blend of 9 different sea vegetables, aloe vera and black cherry juice. Drink 2-4 ounces every day to fortify your immune system. Sea veggies are rich in trace minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients.
4. Cook whole oats. Get a healthy start to your day by eating oatmeal rather than processed sugary cereals and carbs. Oatmeal contains beta-glucan, a type of fiber with antimicrobial and antioxidant capabilities to help keep your immune system super strong and your colon clean.
5. Pump up the dark green leafy vegetables such as kale, Swiss chard, rainbow chard, collard greens, mustard greens, spinach etc. Aim to eat at least one serving of dark green veggies every day. Doing so will supply you with an ample dose of vitamins A, C, D, and B6, dietary fiber, calcium, manganese, iron and more! (Most of us never eat dark greens! Start eating them today!)
6. Sweet potatoes are a wonderful replacement to sugary snacks and desserts. They’re also chock full of Vitamin A which is essential to healthy skin, which in turn keeps unhealthy bacteria, viruses and other undesirables at bay. Get at least one serving of sweet potatoes or other Vitamin A rich food in your diet every day. Also try pumpkin, squash and carrots.
7. Always choose organic foods. This just makes common sense! If you want radiant health, nourish your body with foods grown without pesticides, herbicides, chemicals, fertilizers, and antibiotics. Choose foods grown in rich, healthy soils that were grown with love and respect for the planet. All life is interconnected!
8. Avoid sugar! Sugar totally compromises and suppresses the immune system. Other than providing empty calories, there is nothing good about processed white sugar! It has ZERO nutritionalbenefits. In fact, it robs your body of nutrients and minerals because the body has to use its own stores to process it.
9. Practice daily Self Care. Allow your body to rest by going to bed earlier or sleeping later in the morning, take baths with lavender essential oil, breathe in a steam room, get a massage, or be in nature. This will give your body time to heal, rejuvenate, and revitalize itself. I recommend incorporating self care into your daily routine in order to balance your mind, body and soul.
10. Use essential oils such as eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, and thieves. Diffuse them, take them orally or rub them on your feet, chest and neck. I use essential oils every day to help stay balanced, healthy and refreshed!
It is not overly difficult to prevent a cold. It’s simply a matter of doing everything you should do anyway to stay healthy. All you need is the right steps and you will quickly avoid dealing with the dreaded cold that millions of people are affected by nationwide each year.
