Cold-Flu
The Flu is Nothing to Sneeze At!
10 Tips for Cold and Flu Prevention
-
SCRUB! Wash your hands with soap for at least 30 seconds – and wash them often. If you can’t wash, then use a hand sanitizer. Use disinfectant wipes to clean phone mouthpieces, doorknobs, computer keyboards, and other hands-on surfaces
-
COVER! Don’t cough or sneeze into your hands, where germs will be spread on everything you touch. Instead, use a tissue or the crook of your elbow.
-
EAT RIGHT. Cut down on sugar and eat more fruits and vegetables to boost your immune system. If you do get infected with a cold or flu, you’ll be in better condition to help fend it off or shorten its stay.
-
HANDS OFF! Don’t touch your face. Cold and flu viruses enter your body through the eyes, nose, or mouth. If you travel or are exposed to lots of people, you may increase your resistance by using throat sprays and zinc lozenges.
-
DRINK plenty of water to help flush out toxins and keep you hydrated.
-
WORK OUT! Aerobic exercise speeds up your heart, helps transfer oxygen from your lungs to your blood, and makes you sweat – all of which can help increase the body's natural virus-defending abilities.
-
QUIT SMOKING. Statistics show that heavy smokers get more severe colds and more frequent ones.
-
SUPPLEMENT. Take key protective supplements daily, such as Vitamin D, Pathway Immune System Support, and Sinus Survival Pro Biotic.
-
SPRAY YOUR NOSE. Use a nasal spray, such as Sinus Survival Herbal Nasal Spray, to moisturize your nasal passages and help flush out bacteria and viruses.

I will choose natural medicine every time in place of a prescription since there are no side affects.

My wife says she likes the mascara mostly because of the color and ease of application…

I’ve used this several times and when I’m consistent my brain feels better. More clear less brain fog.

I love this product%21 It has been a wonder seeing the change in our children from using this %21 It is also all natural so it’s comforting knowing we’re helping their bodies do what they need to instead of a band aid. Thank you so much%21

This syrup helps your cough with a real zinger

I’ve only been taking this supplement for a short time so it’s hard to tell. But I do think it’s a nice complement to the other things I’ve been doing to generate more hair growth. Will continue taking it.
