From Denny: The number one thing to do besides take the flu shot if you have an edgy immune system is to guard your diet. Keep it full of lean protein as that is what helps support the immune system. Another group of foods to keep in mind are those that help the liver process toxins like green leafy vegetables. Also, during the flu season add foods like apples which are good to your sinuses, lungs and digestive track. Apples help dry up excessive mucus from the winter wind sniffles, the normal cold or the flu.
How to boost your immune system:

Newest Health Care Plan: Food as Medicine
Newest Health Care Plan: Food as Medicine - "OK, so what does the minor political rant have to do with food as medicine you ask? Plenty. When jobs are scarce or people are underemployed – like most of America right now with 100,000 each week entering those unhappy ranks – people make really bad food choices.
Because of job and ensuing financial stress they go to sugar, lots of carbohydrates and low quality meats. With stress on the rise during this tough economic time worldwide, wallets and bank accounts depleted, it’s time to think of food as medicine.
Enjoy sweetened food without sugar through the use of herbs and spices giving a whole lot of flavor to your favorite dishes!"
