Your Winter Defense: Tips For Beating The Cold

Winter's frigid temperatures make us more vulnerable to whatever germs we are exposed to. Our body's primary line of defense is the immune system. The immune system relies on the diet for important nutrients such as the antioxidants which are found in colorful fruits and vegetables. For added defense, the CDC recommends you wash your hands often, for at least 20 seconds, scrubbing all the way to your wrists.

According to a study at the University of Connecticut, which was published in a prestigious medical journal called the Lancet, Echinacea is extremely effective at reducing the common cold. The study clearly demonstrated that Echinacea would reduce the chances of catching a cold by half, and would reduce the duration of the cold by 1.4 days.
