Trying to cut way down on processed foods, white sugar and flour. Trying to only eat fresh foods and food that doesn't come in packages. Cooking at home and not eating out. Eating lots of ethnic foods, spices and homemade soups
2. Drinking lots of water and decaf Green Tea
3. Supplements:
Isotonix OPC3 (not for kids) (Josh and I haven't had so much as a sniffle since starting last fall on the recommendation of a co-worker of Josh's- knock on wood...)
Vitamin D
Calcium
Multivitamin
Fish Oil
Probiotics
4. Hygiene
using disinfecting wipes or vinegar on door knobs/surfaces for 5 mins daily, rotate surfaces cleaned
want to add a shower filter to remove water contaminants (who knows what we are breathing every time we shower in addition to chlorine)
Keeping hand sanitizer in every car, three little ones in my purse, one in Trevor's lunchbox, and one by every sink in the house, we're already washing our hands a ton b/c of the potty training.
Making My own Hand Soap (using Natural Castile soap liquid in a foam pump and adding a few drops of Lemon, Peppermint and Tea Tree essential Oils)
disinfecting work surfaces with alcohol before starting my shift at the hospital and washing my hands hourly.
Listerine morning and night
disinfecting shopping cart surfaces at the stores
trying not to touch our faces with our hands in any way (easier said than done with kids!)
5. Indoor Air
Opening the Windows to let Fresh Air in for 5 mins a day no matter how cold .
Not using candles, scented oil or any other fragrance indoors---using instead cinnamon on the stove or a few drops of natural lemon or orange oil to freshen the air.
Using an air purifier and humidifier with Purified water and newly replaced filters.
6. Exercise:
Minimum 3-4 times a week (must sweat) no excuses.
Spend at least 15 mins a day outside no matter how cold...
7. Relax
Don't over schedule
Yoga and meditate
Reading Starbright before bed
Taking Deep Breaths
Spend plenty of time as a family, snuggling, wrestling, laughing and playing games
8. getting vaccinations for seasonal flu and H1N1 if available (though controversial in effectiveness)
9. Pray:)
Hopefully we will fare better than last winter!!!
