Clarksville, MD, November 15, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Roots Market, Maryland’s best natural foods store, encourages you to prepare yourself and family from cold and flu season. As the weather becomes colder and we stay indoors more, people often catch colds or other viruses. The cold and flu season can begin as early as October and usually ends sometime in April. While there is no way to cure the common cold or the flu, there are several things that you and your family can do to prevent them and stay healthy this season.
When eaten, preventative foods like garlic, yogurt and citrus fruits provide boosts to ones immune system and well-being. Crushed garlic cloves can increase your resistance to infection and stress when added to your meal. By crushing the garlic, you release the pungent garlic juices which are effective against fungus, yeast and viral infection. Probiotics, which are found in yogurt, have the ability to create an acidic environment in your digestive system that inhibits harmful bacteria which might cause sickness. For the best results, look for yogurts that have “live and active cultures” listed on their label. Tasty clementines, grapefruits, oranges and tangerines are not only great to eat but are great for you. Why? Citrus fruits and juices are packed with vitamin-C, to help absorb iron and strengthen body tissues, bones and blood vessels.
The next time you stop in our Clarksville or Olney locations, ask one of Roots Market's store associates to help you choose foods and products that will bolster your immune system so you won’t miss a beat through the holidays.
