  MAKING CHANGES: The changes you make are simple and easy.

  FACT OR FICTION: Baseball is uniquely American and full of tradition. Here are  several facts you might not know about our summer sport.

In The News

Researchers discovered that whether you should feed or starve that fever will depend upon whether you have a bacterial or viral illness. Most of the time the fever and cold you experience will be from a virus and not a bacteria.

Bacterial infections may cause a localized infection, such as an ear infection or cellulitis. A generalized infection in the bloodstream will also cause a fever, but is life threatening unless treated in the hospital immediately.

So the final word is if you have a cold or the flu, and you’re hungry, it’s time to grab a nutritious snack or meal to give your body the nutrition it needs to fight this cold.

Making Changes

Choose your food wisely as your cells and immune system work from the food you feed it. Ice cream and popsicles may feel good on your sore throat, but it’s important to get sunshine to produce vitamin D and eat plenty of healthy fats, pastured organic meats and non-GMO vegetables too.
