How Proper Nutrition Combats Colds and the Flu
You are what you eat, so eating well can help improve your overall well-being. Studies prove that a balanced diet full of rich nutrients boosts the immune system, which can then fight off cold and flu bacteria more effectively.
By incorporating micronutrients into your diet, you’ll experience minimized cold and flu symptoms, including runny noses, sore throats, fevers, and coughs. Vitamin C is among the best nutrients to combat illness. We suggest taking about 2000 mg of Vitamin C per day to keep your immune system high, and you can do so through nutritional supplements or by eating a healthful, balanced diet with vegetables and a cup of orange juice. But fighting the flu isn’t just about ingesting healthy food—it’s also about avoiding the bad ones. Dairy and sugar both suppress your immune system, making you more susceptible to getting sick.
