Since winter is just about upon us, I wanted to share what we did last year that seemed to have worked to ward off any colds and/or flues. I say it seemed to have worked because I didn’t get a cold at ALL last year, and this is what I did to try and prevent it.
Every single time I started to get even a hint of a sore throat, I’d eat some minced garlic. It was really easy too, since we have our smoothy in the morning and it’s real thick, I’d just put a bit of smoothy on a spoon, put about 1/2 a tsp of garlic on that, then cover it up with more smoothy and swallow it REAL quick. I couldn’t even really taste it, at all, and I never noticed any stinking like garlic like I expected we would. Ha! No one wants to walk around smelling like a garlic clove!
Then we’d drink lemon juice in our water.
And, we never got any colds AND, those two items (minced garlic & lemon juice) are relatively inexpensive overall, compared to a lot of stuff that’s out there to ward of colds. With the garlic and lemon juice, you also know just what you’re putting into your body, unlike any capsules etc. that may be recommended.
Healthy AND inexpensive. You just can’t beat that in my opinion!
