Preparing For Cold & Flu Season

IT'S COLD AND FLU SEASON. More than 300 different viruses can cause colds, so each time you have a cold it is caused by a distinct virus. It's important to realize that there are currently NO drugs available that can kill these cold-producing viruses.

There are, however, a number of ways to ensure you won't end up with a cold. One of the most important is to make sure you optimize your vitamin D levels year-round.

(In addition, there's compelling evidence that seasonal influenza is little more than a symptom of vitamin D deficiency!)

Celebrity Poker Benefit

I attended the celebrity poker game to benefit the Children's Institute. The fundraiser is organized by Camryn Manheim. It was a terrific afternoon, everyone had a howling good time, and raised lots of money for at risk kids.

Thoughts About Omegas...

One of my favorite health sites is Mercola.com. I encourage you to check it out if you are so inclined. There was a lot of information about omegas that I want to share. If you take any source of omega 3-6-9, and I hope you do, follow these guidelines:

A. Buy in a glass bottle, not clear or plastic. The florescent and UVB ray will turn the oil rancid.
B. Buy in small amounts, not large containers. You have a better chance of freshness.
C. When possible, buy direct ship from a distributor. Who know how long that bottle has been sitting on the shelf.

Consider buying krill oil. It contains lower metals and is far more effective in lowering cholesterol and triglycerides.
