boost your immunity

I don't know about you, but I've been thinking about my family's immune systems lately.
Here are some ways to strengthen your immune system to fight of that nasty flu.

Increase your nutrient intake, especially the following:
Vitamin C
Zinc
All of the vitamin Bs
Chromium
Selenium
Vitamin E
Carotenoids

Try taking echinacea and shitake mushroom supplements

Take Sambucus. It's black elderberry juice and studies have shown it to have high antiviral properties and to be as effective as the antiviral medications.

Get plenty of rest.
Eliminate stress.
Drink a lot of water.
