It's that time of year where people are starting to catch sicknesses like crazy. Obviously, that's something we want to avoid them at all costs if we can. So, here are a few of the tricks I use to help keep my body healthy year round.
1. Go nuts
Nuts such as cashews, almonds, and flax contains omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and fiber -- all of which boost the immune system.
2. Aromatherapy
Diffusing and topically applying essential oils such as eucalyptus, peppermint, ginger, and lemon are known to prevent cold and flu viruses.
3. Taste the rainbow
Eating balanced meals that contain a spectrum of colors supplies the body with the nutrients it needs to fight off illness.
