Warning we are currently in the middle of the cold and flu season!!
Not sure what part of the world you are reading this from but here in NYC it is currently 28° F, the long dark days of winter. My body somehow knows this and it tends to fall prey to viruses, and the lousy common cold. Our bodies need balance and harmony and even more around the winter months. Did you know that there are things you can do to improve your chances of avoiding the common cold or the flu? Your first line of defense is to choose a healthy lifestyle by eating right, staying active, and getting enough sleep. Also by taking a daily multivitamin, it may bring you health benefits to boost your immune system. I currently take Rainbow Light Counter Attack and a Rainbow Light women’s multivitamin to give me that extra boost of immunity during this cold and flu season. 
Earlier this month a few blogger friends and I got together to make some DIY Immune System Kits with Rainbow Light products for ourselves and then to donate to a local shelter in Brooklyn. We spoke about how the cold season has already affected some of our family members and what are a few things we are doing to prevent it. Here are some tips we came up with:
- Wash your hands often with soap and water and if you don’t have that accessible use hand sanitizer.
- Consider disinfecting areas like tabletops, doorknobs, remote controls, and toys. Use a disinfecting spray or wipe.
- Use disposable tissues. Viruses can live on handkerchiefs, so use and then throw away immediately.
- Drinking things like water, tea, and soups can help you replace the fluids and electrolytes you’ve lost while also loosening mucus.
- Adding vitamins with Vitamin C and zinc to support your immune health.
- Stay home and rest when you’re sick.
