In reply to Mommy Outside. Totally agree on the flu shot but I firmly believe in foods helping boost the immune system, as does getting fresh air and exercise. Also grab as much natural Vitamin D as possible! :)

Great tips! But I am going to comment on #9. Going outside does not “boost your immune system”. In fact the idea that you can boost your immune system with diet or lifestyle (unless you have an underlying condition that makes you immune compromised) is a myth. However, the flu shot does exactly that – boosts your immunity against the flu.

When my boys walk in the door, the first thing I get them to do is wash their hands with me. Great tips!

I strap a container of Lysol wipes on me when anyone is sick in house, constantly wiping down door handles etc.

Hi Stacey

I don’t have any specific recipes but I try to put a pinch of tumeric into each of our dishes. It doesn’t really alter the taste so it’s easy to ‘sneak’ in. Just turns things a bit yellow (who doesn’t love yellow rice!!). As for ginger, I put that in soups and curries – usually in chunk format and I brew ginger tea for myself.
