As far as boosting your immune system to prevent the flu, there are many things you can do: Your first line of defense is your diet and exercise program. Eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as you can- best raw or lightly cooked. Eat whole grains like brown rice and legumes like beans and lentils. Be sure to include healthy bacteria in your diet by eating fermented foods, organic unsweetened yogurt, or by taking a probiotic. Keeping your gut functioning properly will really help you to fight off illness. Avoid processed foods, white sugar, white flour, artificial sweeteners, preservatives all of which tax the system. Move- getting moderate to mild exercise like skiing , walking briskly, yoga, tai chi has been shown to improve immune function. looks like this box is too small- I will continue in another comment...Kathy Hi Laurie,
