Health - Boosting the Immune System - The Cold and Flu Season

Ask Dr. Mao, the website for author and doctor Mao Shing Ni, is an informative Natural Health Search Engine filled with articles aimed at healing your body naturally and taking care of your health in a natural or more holistic way.

One of the articles I found on Ask Dr. Mao's blog was Boosting the Immune System - The Cold and Flu Season.

We are in the midst of fall, which means cold and flu season is upon us. If you have kids, then you are probably already enjoying an onslaught of back-to-school germs!

Some suggestions for building up your immune system include:
• Simple Strategies for a Stronger Immune System
• Maintain a positive attitude.
• Eat lots of garlic, ginger, cilantro, oregano and other herbs and spices.
• Get enough rest—eight hours a night.
• Keep stress low with meditation, tai chi or yoga.
