Recovery after the flu

The habit that people should avoid is returning to regular activities as soon as the cold or flu starts to break. While this is tempting, you should keep in mind that your immune system has depleted resources following an infection and needs a little more time to restock. This means continue with the protocol for symptom management for at least 3 to 4 days after the symptoms have abated.

Restock your immune cofactors with lots of vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin A, C, and E and zinc and selenium.

Rehydrate with vegetable soups and plain water.

Sleep as much as your body needs.

Maintain your avoidance of sugar and simple carbohydrates.

Maintain your immune support with botanicals and homeopathics.

It is really quite simple, but you have to stick to it or you're likely to slip up and find yourself with another infection.
