While the official flu season doesn’t start for a few months, the H1N1 flu is already hitting offices and classrooms. Although there isn’t an official flu-fighting diet, there are specific healthy nutrition recommendations that promote good health and wellnessand can help ward off infection. According to Dr. ReneMassengale, “There are specific foods and vitamins that work to boost the immune system and heal the body suchas vitamins C, B6 and B12, folic acid, and flavenoids. Glutathione is an antioxidant compound found in fruits such as watermelon, broccoli, collar greens and cabbage. Vitamins B6 and B12 are found in spinach,high-protein foods, and enriched cereal grains and minerals like selenium and zinc found in poultry, meat, beans, and peanuts.”
