Avoid the Common Cold with these Quick Tricks

It's back to school time and cold season, let's talk colds! I am not a big medicine person. I tend to have a high pain tolerance and usually wait out pain to better gauge how it's progressing. Color me old fashioned but it works for me. I am, however, a cold & flu wimp! I used to pop DayQuil if some sneezed within a 10ft radius of me (not quite, but you get my point). 

My family has been making huge strides toward eating better and living more consciously. I have found the cure for the common cold. Yes ladies and gents, I have done it. 

This week at RiteAid there was a BOGO sale on Nature Made vitamins and naturally we stocked up! At the earliest signs of anyone in my house getting sick, I begin taking one vitamin Zinc melt and one vitamin C caplet a day. The zinc melts actually taste okay. I was scared but they are honey lemon flavored ;). I take them at night with my prenatal pills and folic acid for the duration of my family's sickness. Also, I abhor tea but I have heard drinking green tea during a cold also helps though this is not advised during pregnancy. 

I followed my vitamin routine this week and Eric did not (Elena's too young for it); guess who feels great..? Me! Let me know how it works for you. 

Just remember to always consult your doctor first!  I am not a doctor and this should not be taken as professional medical advice, more or less a little mommy know-how.
