The news is full of articles about the flu this year. We usually think of this ailment as something especially dangerous for the elderly and very fragile individuals, but healthy young people are also being affected. The best thing to do is get a flu shot (it's not too late), and if your child is ill, keep them home for a full 24 hours after the fever has disappeared. An article in the Los Angeles Times featured the outbreak in our own community of Torrance. I don't mean to frighten anyone, but taking common sense precautions could save a lot of heartache.

Rule #13
Eat your colors.
The colors of many vegetables reflect the different antioxidant phytochemicals they contain. Many of these chemicals help protect against chronic diseases, but each in a slightly different way, so the best protection comes from a diet containing as many different phytochemicals as possible.
