The minute you suspect a cold or virus may be in your near future – check your diet...
What you eat from here on in could help determine the severity and length of that bug. You’ll want to cut back on fatty foods right off the bat and start snacking on the stuff that will actually boost your immune response. Melina Jampolis, author of “The Calendar Diet,” says go for orange, yellow-orange and deep green produce. Those are the highest in the symptom-busting antioxidants you will need right away, including vitamin C, E and beta-carotene.
Drink plenty of fluids too – but skip the juice. The added sugars will hinder white blood cells from fighting infection. Water and tea are your best options.
