Let's face it -- the majority of us struggle to get it all right all the time. We may keep fit and get enough rest. We may get sunlight and clean air. We may avoid drugs, alcohol and tobacco. We may even eat exclusively healthy whole food. But do we do it all the time or in a balanced way? Odds are for nearly all of us the answer is no. Is there something we can do to help protect ourselves throughout times of higher vulnerability like during cold and flu season? In my view, of course there is.
We all already understand the fundamentals about how to stay well during flu season. The basics include:
- Staying away from getting sick by avoiding exposure to germs
- By washing your hands regularly
- Covering your mouth when sneezing or coughing; hopefully others will too
- Avoiding people, particularly sick people
- Staying away from drugs, tobacco and alcohol which can lower your resistance
- Getting adequate amounts of rest
- Getting adequate exercise
- Getting lots of clean air
- Getting some sunshine
There is more to staying well under rough times than just staying away from the negatives, getting enough sleep, fresh air, exercise and sunlight. We need to do more than the basics. We need to not only pass up junk food, but also eat and drink superior nutrition. This helps to protect the body naturally so the body is able to resist illness and stay well during flu season. What the body needs to safeguard itself is:
- Concentrated, enzyme-rich food
- An abundance of nutrient-dense fluids
- A broad array of nutrients from varied sources
Enzymes have the power to speed healing and safeguard the body from free radicals and illness. Concentrate nutrients by juicing enzyme-rich fresh produce. This provides the body with nutrient-dense fluids to protect and nurture cells and cleanse toxins out of the body. The best, easiest way to consume an extensive mixture of concentrated foods is to use a juicer that juices both fruits and vegetables.
For optimal nourishment and enzyme concentration, eat sprouts and drink sprout juice, the essence of the ideal super food. Sprouting grains, seeds, beans and legumes helps ensure enzyme-rich nutrition and gives alternative food sources for a more balanced diet. Consume sprouts in salads, on sandwiches and some even juice well. You can even dehydrate the sprouts and grind them to make flour.
Here are a few ways to extract fabulous nutrition cheaply to stay well during flu season naturally. A centrifugal ejection juicer like L'Equip 215 XL Juicer juices both vegtables and fruits. It is very reasonably priced, easy to clean and requires less chopping. You can even juice small to intermediate size apples whole. For more efficiency, single and twin gear juicers like Samson and Green Star Juicers yield greater quantities of juice. The juice quality is higher too as the RPMs are lower producing a smaller amount of resistance. These juicers do require more chopping, fruits must be very firm and they do cost more. Grow sprouts using economical Food PANtrie Dehydrator, which doubles as a sprouter, is very affordable, requires no electricity and is free to operate.
If you follow the above recommendations regularly, you receive:
- Natural nutrition
- Long-term benefits
- A greater probability of a strengthened immune system
- A greater likelihood to stay well during flu season
- A greater chance of an improved you
If it's too late you are already sick, get healthier faster using these same techniques.
Beyond avoiding exposure to someone who is sick and getting enough sleep, exercise, clean air and sunshine, you can increase your probability to stay well during flu season by
- Consuming concentrated, enzyme-rich foods from
- Freshly juiced fruits and vegetables
- Sprouts
- Drinking lots of nutrient-dense fluids made with juicers that juice variety like
- L'Equip 215 XL Juicer for juicing fruits and vegetables
- Samson Juicer for juicing some very firm fruit, leafy greens and wheatgrass that produces higher quality juice
- Green Star Juicer for some very firm fruits, leafy greens and wheatgrass that yields the maximum quality juice
- Taking in a wide selection of nutrients from various sources
- Fruits and vegetables, particularly juiced
- Sprouted grains, seeds, beans and legumes -- juiced or otherwise
Stay well during flu season this year and do it naturally!
