Today Show shares how to naturally prevent colds

While enjoying my coffee this morning, the Today Show shared 5 ways that naturally prevent colds. Since it's that time of year, I want all of you to do your best to avoid getting sick.

1. Consume probiotics. It increases antibodies.
2. Boost your vitamin D levels. It helps fight infection
3. Get a massage or use a foam roller. Doing so boosts your immune system by reducing stress and cortisol.
4. Drink green tea. It contains antioxidants.
5. Socialize with friends. This one surprised me but evidently studies show that people with wide diverse social networks get colds less often. People who are lonely are prone to getting sick as they typically have higher levels of cortisol. Interesting, huh? Just make sure you wash your hands. A lot.

Stay well!
