Flu Fighters From Your Kitchen

Some of the best swine flu germ fighters can be found in your kitchen:

Apple Cider Vinegar
The health benefits of this form of vinegar are outstanding, and can be used in a multitude of ways. Vinegar has an ingredient known as Malic Acid which makes vinegar an anti-biotic, anti-fungal, and an anti-viral remedy. Mix two tablespoons of vinegar, one tablespoon of honey, and one cup of warm water each morning. This may prevent and kill microbes that are trying to infect your body.

Garlic
Garlic has been known to kill agents varying from cancer to pneumonia. When consumed, garlic will also remedy a cold.

Vitamin C
Research has shown that vitamin C improves resistance to disease and prevents flu symptoms when 1,000 mg doses are taken every six hours. It is highly recommended to include vitamin C rich foods in every meal of the day. Eat citrus fruits.

Turmeric
Those not allergic to milk, may take a glass of hot or lukewarm milk every night with a small measure of haldi (turmeric).
