Take a cold shower. Help your immune system get on its feet!

Cold showers wake up your immune cells. They strengthen your body's protective systems, which, among other things, fight the dreaded free radicals. These are the oxygen robbers in your cells. These weaken your immune defenses. Every morning, alternate hot and cold showers. Start with a warm shower and end with a cold one. Shower in circular motions starting at your left foot and always moving toward your heart. Vitamin C eliminates substances that can be dangerous to your immune system. Especially rich in vitamin C are peppers, parsley, rose hips, sea buckthorn, kiwis and citrus fruits.
