How to Beat the Flu Season

Submitted by We Can Live Green on October 12, 2009 - 7:48pm

With flu season upon us, I know many moms are cringing at the prospect of sick kids. I know I am.

I heard some great information from a medical professional on how to survive the flu season and I wanted to pass it along. So, want to stay as well as possible this flu season? Try vitamin C. The recommendation we got was to stick with the powder form of vitamin C (less sugar for you or your little one) which you can then add to water or juice. You can’t really taste it, so you don’t even know you are taking vitamins – perfect if you have a little one who hates vitamins or if you are one of those people who can’t stand the taste of vitamins.

It is really important to stick to the recommended dosages, so you should talk to your doctor before starting any new regiment like this. This is especially true if you are giving any vitamins to a child. As always, this site is not dispensing medical advice, so please check with your doctor before making any changes.

The amazing thing about vitamin C is that our body uses it to fight off infection, so if you are sick or getting sick (or just plain trying not to get sick) then taking a little vitamin C helps give your body the fighting chance it deserves to kick out the bacteria or viruses that are attacking it.

Good luck!

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.

Take Action

Stop talking. Now is the time. Take action here.
