I would like to add raw local honey and elderberry syrup as well. The most sick my son has been in his 3 short years of life was roseola he got from daycare 2 years ago. No pink eye , ear infections, stomach bugs etc like so many of his peers.

Thanks for the tips! We live in an area that has been hit hard by this respiratory virus, but so far we have stayed healthy with plenty of sleep, and essential oils.

In reply to Leah. Most definitely, Leah! To me, feeding a real, no-processed diet basically means no sugar except for extra special treats, but I think there are lots of people that still make desserts a lot even with "real-food" ingredients. But cold and flu season is not the time of year to do it!

Great tips!
I would add that if you have an infant then breastfeeding is a great way to help him or her stay healthy.

Wanted to add to your list with the biggest one in our house- CUT SUGAR!! Especially in the winter/spring, I become “Sugar Nazi” and eliminate as much as possible from our diet. It does wonders! We use Vitamin C, Echinacea, essential oils, and low sugar and hardly ever get sick!
