This week has been a wonderfully warm and inviting week but it doesn’t stop the cold and flu season being upon us. Remember that many ailments are controlled by diet and vigilance. These include type 2 diabetes, blood pressure and the common cold.
The Vitamins C, B and D are the most useful in the winter months to help prevent common colds and winter blues.
Eating seasonally helps a great deal with the general human complaint that comes with winter. The earth gives us citrus full of Vitamin C, cheese, eggs and fish etc for Vitamin B & D.
If you cannot always get to these foods, use a supplement such as Vitamin C that is needed for the body’s immune system, Vitamin B keeps your energy up and nervous tension down and Vitamin D for muscles and cell development.

Eat well, move more
