Vitamin C – Get It!
I had my last cold about a year ago. Contrast that with the 2-4 colds per year I would get in years past. What’s different? Vitamin C!
Each day about an hour or two after breakfast, I swig down about a 8-12 ounce glass of orange juice or other vitamin C-fortified fruit juice. To prevent too much acidity, I have one or two pieces of toast with the juice. Also, at this time, I will pop down my multivitamin for the day. Currently, I am taking Centrum Silver.
If I drink the juice first thing in the morning, I will sometimes get of an upset stomach. Waiting an hour or two after breakfast seems to help.
As I have mentioned before on my site SciaticaBackPainRelief.com, the reason I can drink juice at all now is because I no longer am popping the almost daily ibuprofen pills. Instead, I only take them for bad headaches – maybe 4-6 200 mg pills per week at the most. The decompression device I used was helpful in achieving this. And now, I very rarely have any sciatica back pain, so I have not even been using this device for quite some time now.
Besides helping to prevent colds, Vitamin C
