Flu season is here which means it’s time to boost our immune system by eating plenty of healthy food. If you feel any symptoms of a cold or a flu, make sure to eat the food from this list.

Garlic

Most of you probably already know that garlic has many health benefits thanks to its antibacterial effects. It is great for boosting your immune system and one study even showed that people who ate garlic on a regular basis got sick less often.

Honey

Honey’s antibacterial properties will help you get better if you have a cold or flu. Moreover, honey is a great natural remedy for healing a sore throat and suppressing cough and it’s even said that it’s better than some cough medications.

Did you know one of my goals is to be a Zero Waste Apiary? What does that even mean? * From the beginning, I’ve kept the environment in mind in everything I do with this business. From my metal and glass jars to the little wooden spoons we use at markets. * Everything can be either composted or recycled. I do my best to use as little plastic as possible, which can be impossible with some beekeeping supplies. * I also do my best to waste nothing from my hives. I process comb which takes so much work and will use that wax back in the hives. * Moving forward I plan on really cracking down on this goal of mine. It’s going to take a while and lots of work but I won’t give up. Because I stand by the belief that we can do business and still care about our earth. #palmpikeapiary #sustainability

Bananas

Aside from the fact that they’re super tasty and easy to chew, bananas are extremely healthy food that’ll provide you with enough nutrients and fiber. This is why this fruit is great for relieving nausea and diarrhea.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal is packed with enough calories, vitamins, and minerals that’ll help you fight a cold or flu. It stimulates the immune system and decreases inflammation in the digestive system, which is why it’s very beneficial to eat it while you’re sick.
