This cold won’t take me down!

You know when it’s coming…..you can feel it…..you are left wondering where those little germies where when you came into contact with them……at the grocery store while pushing that sticky cart, at the post office when you held the door open for that stranger, actually, maybe it was that stranger!!   It doesn’t matter now, those little germs have invaded your body and are trying to start a war!

Are you ready to fight?

Are you armed with the proper weaponry???

Does your body have what it needs to win?

Here are some great tips to help fight off those germs the next time they come around!

#1-GARLIC!!!

Take a clove of fresh garlic and dice it as small as you can…..

then mix it with a spoonful of raw honey

swallow and repeat!!

Garlic is a wonderful way to boost immunity in your body!  It contains allicin, which has shown to have antibacterial and antifungal properties.

A great tip is to buy organic garlic in bulk.  Peel and seperate each clove and place in a ziploc bag and place in the freezer.  When you need a clove just let it thaw for about 5 minutes!

#2-GINGER ROOT

Take some fresh ginger root and slice it into small chunks.  Place in some water and boil for 10 minutes.

Cover and let steep for another 10 minutes.  Strain ginger pieces out and drink the ginger tea.  Optional: add fresh lemon and honey!

Ginger tea is also good to use for pain and nausea as well as helping to fight off a cold!

You can also buy organic ginger in bulk and slice into small pieces and freeze!

#3-VITAMIN C

Oranges are a great source of vitamin c and when you are sick you need lots of fluids so fresh squeezed orange juice is perfect!

#4-GREEN TEA

Green tea contains antioxidants plus the caffeine helps with the lack of evergy you feel when you are sick!

Try it with a little almond milk and some stevia!!

#5-PROBIOTICS AND OREGANO OIL

 Probitotics should be taken each day but especially when sick.  Oregano oil is a great immune booster-dab a bit behind each ear.

#6-CHLORELLA, BEE POLLEN, GOJI BERRIES

These are full of nutrition, and are a great addition to help strengthen your immune system when it is compromised.

Oh, and remember they say you cannot CURE the common cold so I am not claiming that any of these will cure your ailment, rather, they may help to alleviate symptoms. ;)

MMMM…A Breakfast of Champions

I decided to let you peek into my mornings around here and see what we like to rummage up for our breakfast-which is the most important part of the day!

So here my husband had the daunting task of juicing lots of oranges.  Actually it goes really fast and is actually quite fun to do!  On mornings that we have big glasses of O.J. we can easily go through a bag of oranges but I can usually get a bag for around $1.50 or so.   Sometimes I buy oranges by the case and get 100 oranges for around $15.00.  We can usually go through a case in a week if we are drinking O.J. everyday.  Oranges are so good for you can read my post about them here.

After the oranges are juiced we divide it up into cups…..2 little ones for my sweeties

and two big ones for my husband and myself.

We never just drink O.J. plain though…….I like to add some of my favorite super foods.

First, our O.J. always gets a good heaping spoonful of this:

These are chia seeds….they are little black seeds that are a great source of omega 3′s, fiber, protein, plus lots and lots more….these little things are warrior food!  They offer no taste but kind of look funny suspended in the glass!  We love it!

I also sneak a little ingredient into the juice without anyone knowing:

This is organic kelp and it is a great source of iodine.  Iodine is needed for a healthy thyroid function.  I only put a pinch in everyone’s juice and they have never even known!

Once the chia seeds and kelp have been added we add ice and slurp it down super fast.

Occasionally, I use my juice to make a super smoothie.

I will pour my juice in the blender and add bananas, chia seeds, kelp and then some of this

Based on its research, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has stated that bee pollen is the most nutritious food we can eat. It contains every nutrient required to sustain and support life in a pure, raw and unaltered form.  I try to take at least a tablespoon everyday!

I add some ice and blend it up!

Voila!  My super delicious breakfast of champions!  It is so yummy!  I hope you enjoyed the peek into my families mornings…..ENJOY!!!
