Recipes For Health

Since I've been learning about spirulina and other California super foods I've been trying to find creative ways to add spirulina to my meals. I figured out adding spirulina to smoothies but I want to expand to other natural food recipes.

I also figured there are other super foods that I can add to recipes. For example, chocolate nibs, hemp seed, flax seed and agave necter. I learned about different type of superfoods from Billy's Superfoods and more importantly I found California super food recipes that incorporate several different natural foods.

I like that I can be creative with my meals and still be healthy.

7 Tips to avoid cold & flu season

Well unfortunately cold & flu season are unavoidable. But there are some ways I've been protecting myself from getting sick this winter. Here are my 5 tips I've been following for guarding against a nasty cold & flu season:

1. I got a flu shot.

2. I made sure I had antibacterial bottles on my desk at work, at home, in my car, and in my backpack.

3. I started sneezing in the pit of my elbow instead of my hands (so I don't spread my germs to others).

4. I added more California superfoods to my diet (e.g., leafy green veggies and fruits) for extra vitamin C.

5. I invested in an over the counter daily multivitamin.

6. After much research I added California superfoods supplement California spirulina to my diet.

7. I've been paying more attention to everyday things and using my hand sanitizer. For instance shaking hands with others, grabbing a grocery cart handle, pumping gas, and handling money when given change.

Spirulina is what I need to boost my immunity this winter season. Those little greens pill are the rave and I find my body likes them a lot. I debated about the flu shot but because I work in a hospital I decided I don't just want to protect myself but I want to protect the people around me. I'm a little anal about the antibacteria but I work around sick people and it has forced me to be more careful. Plus I really don't want to bring anything home to my family.

Hand sanitizers can be purchased at any drug store. I prefer the ones that have a moisturizer so my hands stay soft during the harsh cold weather. Also, Billy's Superfoods is a good place to read about and purchase California spirulina supplements.
