Its influenza (flu) season and this year has been particularly awful. Yuck. I am working hard at keeping these germs at bay and keeping my kiddos healthy and happy. I wanted to share a couple supplements and things we are doing to stay healthy.
1. Eating wholesome and fresh foods! Eat the rainbow!!
2. Washing our hands! I have been religiously washing my toddler's hands, getting under their finger nails. We are also working on learning to sneeze into our shoulder not our hand. Also, we use natural soaps not anti-bacterial soap, specifically stay away from triclosan. Stephanie at Keeper of the Home has a great blog where you can read more about hand-washing here: http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2010/10/harmful-handwashing-the-dangers-of-antibacterial-soaps.html.
3. Cod Liver Oil/ Butter Oil (most important supplement I believe you can take!)
4. Vitamin D (we need sunshine around these parts!- you will get this in the CLO/BO I recommend)
5. Elderberry syrup. We make our own and save lots of $$$. I also know exactly what is in ours and feel comfortable taking it while nursing and giving it to my baby.
6. Vitamin C (my kids get a half of emergen-c packet every day and I take a whole packet)
7. SLEEP (it is so important and with that I am signing out)
