Swine Flu Prevention the Natural Way

I know we're all a little worried right now but there's no reason to panic!

Here are a few things you can do:

• Strengthen your immune system with herbs (elder blossoms and berries, lemon balm...etc), vitamin C (from natural source: berries, citrus fruits, hibiscus tea, rosehips, kiwi, mango...etc), coconut oil, bee products (I have experienced the healing properties of propolis), probiotics and fermented foods (yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut...etc)
  
• Eat wholesome and nourishing foods
• Don't stress: stress weakens the immune system
• Get proper sleep
  
• Stay hydrated with water, homemade lemonade (rich in vitamin C as well), apple cider vinegar drink (1 tsp apple cider vinegar (herbally infused even better) + 1 tsp honey + hot water - my personal preference - but cold water works too), herbal teas (hot or cold), nourishing herbal infusions, homemade fruit/veggie juices and smoothies (avoid commercial juice which often have added flavorings and are overly sweet)...
