Ever take a stroll by the park and feeling a slight cold
breeze sending chills down your entire body? As golden crisp leaves lay on the
ground and the trees begin to fall a sleep. This is when the body starts to act
different and your eyes begin to swell, ears are plugged and nose is congested.
Well this is the time of the year where the weather slightly changes and one
may have to be prepared to keep their immune system healthy. Especially during
holiday events, you may not want to be the one with the sniffling nose trailing
along the room and keeping a safe distance from relatives. There are many
natural ways to prevent and cure the flu or cold. Below are some healthy but
natural choices to consider.
Prevention: Layering
Dressing warm includes grabbing a scarf sweater;
socks and hat will prevent catching the cold. Most people become sick because
of the lack of layering their clothing. Anyone that had suffered those cold
days of freezing toes and their teeth chattering can appreciate the importance of
dressing appropriately for cold weather.
Sleep
Taking a rest while sick has a great impact
in our every day life. Getting enough sleep is quite beneficial and that has
become a hard thing for most people to tackle. When you don’t get enough sleep
your body gets weak, sleeping is important because it keeps the body strong and
fights off sickness. The immune system is constantly moving and fighting
against germs on a regular basis. Therefore it is vital that keeping your body
rested will give the body enough time to rebuild itself.
Natural antibiotics
An antibiotic is a substance that is known
for fighting off the growth bacteria which is prescribed to people with an
infection. Most people are finding other substitutes that are “natural” to help
bacteria such as the cold or flu. Strengthening the immune system is a great
habit to prevent and protect the body from catching infections. The human body
has natural antibiotics that kill bacteria but using these key natural
antibiotics such as olive leaf, honey and garlic can help with fighting the
