Daily Dozen Item #6: cruciferous vegetables
As in brocolli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts, kale, bok choy, and the like.
Raw is best for the lung stuff, but best served cooked for other digestive reasons.....
1 serve per day.
***for then next 12 posts, I’ll be posting about 1 item from at @michaelgregermd book How Not to Die. His DAILY DOZEN is a list of 12 foods you should eat every day for longevity. It is based on his grandmothers miraculous recovery as well as heaps of medical research, which he discusses in the book.

⬇️
▪️ELDERBERRY:
In a study published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine of 60 people suffering from flu-like symptoms, scientists found that those who used elderberry extract for five days (taking 15 mL in syrup form four times daily) saw their symptoms subside four days earlier than study members assigned to a placebo.
▪️ECHINACEA:
Extracts of echinacea do seem to have an effect on the immune system, your body's defense against germs. Research shows it increases the number of white blood cells, which fight infections.
▪️ZINC:
It is the main nutrient protecting the immune system, and helps white blood cells resist infection
▪️FASTING:
Every time you ingest food you are taking resources away from your immune system from battling your illness. Instead it is working to protect you from the bacteria, viruses and other harmful agents that are present on your food.
▪️GARLIC:
Whole garlic contains a compound called alliin. When garlic is crushed or chewed, this compound turns into allicin (with a c), the main active ingredient in garlic. These compounds have been shown to boost the disease-fighting response of some types of white blood cells in the body when they encounter viruses, such as the viruses that cause the common cold or flu
▪️OREGANO OIL:
Based on notable research studies, the volatile oils in oregano (thymol and carvacrol) have antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties
▪️COLD SHOWERS:
Scientific studies have now backed up what naturopaths have been saying for years – that taking a cold shower every day can greatly improve your immunity to viruses. The theory goes that the shock of the cold water stimulates the body into warming itself up and raising its core temperature – which destroys cold and flu viruses. If you are suffering from flu, taking a cold shower may seem like purgatory but the same study concluded that it can shorten the duration of an infection, too. .

Back in 2010, researchers in India – which has a strong history of natural healing due to its Ayurvedic traditions – compared the effects of over-the-counter syrups to a natural mixture of pineapple juice, salt, pepper on the coughs of tuberculosis patients. It was found that the natural mixture was far more effective at soothing down coughs and throat irritation than the commercial preparation.
-
This sparked other studies on the subject, and scientists came to the conclusion that the reason that pineapple juice is so effective for taming a cough is the presence of bromelain, an enzyme that has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties which allow it to reduce irritation of the throat and thus relieve even persistent coughing.
-
Also helpful is the fact that pineapple contains high amounts of vitamin C (another power antioxidant) as well as a wealth of vitamin A and minerals like magnesium, manganese and potassium, all of which help boost the immune system and make it easier for the body to fight off infections that cause coughs in the first place.

First my husband caught it. Then the baby caught it. And now I've been struck with it - this winter cold has hit our house hard! If I can muster the energy today, I'll be making some of this Easy Chicken Ramen. Have you made it yet? #coldandfluseason #ramen

You guys know that I’m very picky about the products I give to my family. #ad Well, I recently discovered @lolleez_pops and I couldn’t wait to share about them.
Lolleez are certified organic throat soothing pops for kids. Basically, a cough drop on a stick! They’re made with only the best ingredients AND they’re the flat pops so there’s no need to worry.
I love that I can give my kids a little treat when they’re sick that I feel great about AND will help them feel better.
They also make tumeez, that will soothe an upset tummy. SO BRILLIANT. My kids hate medicine but they love lolleez!
They come in a variety of yummy flavors and are available on Amazon, and at Target. I’ll post a link in my bio or you can visit my stories and swipe up to get more info ☺️☺️

A potential harmful substance, petroleum jelly found in vapor rubs, contains compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). .
.
. When PAHs enter the body, they are stored in the kidneys, liver, and fat; where they may actually be converted into more dangerous chemicals.
.
.
In fact, the EWG gave them a health Hazard rank of 4.
.
.
As an ALTERNATIVE, just take 2 oz of coconut oil and mix it with 10 drops of your favorite eucalyptus oil and two drops of your favorite peppermint oil. .
.
.
You can use more or less of the peppermint oil and you could even add immune stimulating oils like oregano and thyme, although you might smell like a pizza :-)
