Cold and flu prevention tips link roundup

‘Tis the season for colds and flu. DumbLittleMan has some tips on how to prevent the flu. Perfect Health also suggests ginger as a boost for garlic’s virus fighting powers. I recently shared the recipe for a broth I make when I feel a cold coming on, and last year I wrote about how old-fashioned antihistamines can actually help with cold symptoms.

And here’s a brand new tip I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned before: when you feel a cold coming on, go home and rest. If you give your body the chance to put all its energy into fighting the virus early on, you’ll sometimes fight it off altogether or, I’m convinced by personal experience, at least shorten the duration and make the symptoms less intense.
