Fruit and Vegetable recommended for flu prevention

Flu season reports have been increasing since early November.

Vitamin C is at the top of the list of preventative measures. Red bell peppers are touted to have the vitamin C equal to three oranges. 

Garlic is on the recommended list due to its natural antibiotic ingredients. 

Surprisingly yogurt is on the list of recommended preventative measures. It controls gut bacteria. (I make my own).

Various greens and berries are also on the recommended list

There's a few variations of the flu. The B variant is quite common, Expect the K variant to arrive via tourism.

Masks are recommended in indoor public spaces, such as shopping.

Bug Wars 101

Eating onions and garlic daily has apparently been debunked by science as being ineffective. Even though garlic is a great antibiotic, eating too much can cause stomach problems.  Garlic does not discern between good and bad bugs *.

I avoid using hazardous bug sprays around the kitchen and pets.  Been using VINEGAR for cleaning and as a bug spray very effectively.  It's a deterrent to many flying and crawling insects.

Short while ago I experienced the effect of vinegar first hand. Felt something crawling on my leg. Sprayed the area with vinegar. Shining a light on the area, I discovered and removed a 'comatosed' mosquito. Placed it under a light, identified it as a mosquito, and crushed it.

Vinegar is not necessarily a bug killer, it does keep bugs scurrying in other directions.

In the kitchen I use vinegar for cleaning countertops and cabinets. Works just as well as many commercial cleaning products. I spray the recycle and trash containers.

Bathroom is another place where mosquitoes are attracted to the moisture.  Vinegar is a great substitute for commercial glass and time cleaners.

I must admit it took a few days getting used to living in what smells like a salad bar. The smell dissipates, but the effect on surfaces lingers. 

* Potent properties-What’s the real logic behind not consuming onion and garlic?
