oh brother this is a no-brainer for me. considering my dad is a health nut and my grandmas a fricking health fanatic, i know it all. I’ve been brainwashed and i’ll tell you, it works. Just think of it like this:
1) bacteria is your immune system’s arch enemy. Well, bad bacteria actually, cause there is some good kinds. But anyways, the bad guys love sugar cause thats what they eat..im not kidding eat a sucker with strep throat and it’ll get 10 times worse. But sugar feeds the ninjas in your body and the good guys need:
2) vitamin C to fight off the bad bacteria. Vitamin C? where do i get that? Strawberries are really really high in it and so are oranges (obviously), lemons, and all the citrus fruit. When you feel a cold coming, eat that and cut back on the sugars and processed foods (fries, white bread, chips, all that good stuff) and eat as much fruit as you can. Veggies like spinach (eww man thats nasty) have almost every vitamin and mineral in them, so when you force them down, just think of how your not gonna get the stomach flu :) i like to make a smoothie and put in a ton of fruits and veggies, maybe some yogurt (even though im convinced dairy is the devil..hehe) and stuff to make it good but no sugar juices cause you body will hate you for it. Yeah, vitamin pills are good to take, but they’re better absorbed in your stomach if you blend them in juice or smoothie.
3) Dairy..is not my friend. Calcium? you ask…try spinach and broccoli..dairy clogs you up in and out..lol. it causes allergies even if your not lactose intolerant. it gives you nasty boogers, smokers coughs dont compare to the wet dairy cough. uckk!! gag me. and have you ever thrown up milk? lets not even go there..but lets! cause if you drink your however many glasses of milk a day you think “good job..strong bones..woohoh!” but from not on think, “hmm..im drinking the same thing as a baby calf does in order to gain weight in order to survive” lol. thats why cows make it! to fatten up the runts!! the only reason we drink cows milk and not any other kind of milk is because its cheap for farmers to make. Cows squirt a ton of it our of their raw utters. eww im throwing up. im not saying be a vegan or a vegetarian or anything unless you want to but just lay off the dairy as much as you can and indulge in the good stuff like chocolate and icecream (my fav) when your healthy. Get it? its easy and your bod will thank you:)
4) Besides eating healthy which we all know we should and taking those horse pills(of putting them in a fruit smoothie if they dont go down) and stopping the cow juice intake, exercise boosts your immune system. It really does..test it out cause its good for everything else too!!
5) being in the cold lowers the immune system..thats why grandmas says if you dont wear a coat you”ll catch a cold..but really you can catch the stomach flu!! runs in circles screaming
6) Consistency is key. sure, once your boyfriend gets the flu you can start these proceeders, but if you do it over time, your immune system will be stacked. you”ll be licking handrails daring those puny strands of bacteria to mess with you. BRING IT!
7) i was kinda exaggerating before..dont lick handrails. Have some common sense..wash those hands too! their filthy!
8) Coffee and chocolate lower the system of immunity. modration and timing are key. Just because you flu is gone doesn’t mean your immune to relapses.
9)if your exposed to flues and you know it, lemon juice shots and apple cider vinegar can help boost yous immune system! (3 shots throughout the day..not all at once).
hope you like this and beleive me..im not lieing!
