Help your family fight the flu

January 12, 2013 Leave a Comment

It’s the height of flu season and staying healthy is on everyone’s mind. Keep your family flu free this winter with these tips from Whole Foods:

Wash your hands
When you touch your mouth, eyes or nose after touching door handles, shared pens, etc. you could be setting yourself up for the sniffles. Flu can spread before symptoms even start.  Natural hand sanitizers can help keep hands clean, too.

Prevention Tip: Drink Up
Pure water (and lots of it) is the best choice when the Doc says “drink more fluids.” Cells need to be hydrated to engage their defenses. Warm liquids may provide similar soothing effects as steam. Try green tea, herbal tea or warmed juice! Juice (go organic) can be a good source of nutrients and antioxidants, but don’t overdo it; all types of sugar can inhibit the immune system.

Prevention Tip: Rest, relaxation…and regular exercise
Relaxation, sleep and stress management techniques such as meditation, yoga and massage positively affect the immune system. *Social activity is key. Avoid loneliness and isolation; seek out humor! Regular exercise may help strengthen immunity.

Prevention Tip: Use Your Nose
Neti pots are for nasal flushing with warm, salted water to wash away mucus that may cause congestion. Aromatherapy using 100% essential oils-eucalyptus, lavender, etc-on your pillow or in your bath or steam inhaler can help bring relief.

Whole Foods also carries a variety of nature products to help ward off the flu including:

365 Everyday Value(r) Hand Sanitizing Spray – Experts always say the most effective way to avoid illness is to keep your hands clean, so try an organic alternative to chemical based hand sanitizers with EO Hand Sanitizing Spray. This combination of invigorating peppermint oil (a natural antiseptic), vitamin and thyme sanitizes hands, leaving a refreshingly soothing scent. Suggested retail price… $3.99

Source Naturals Wellness Formula 45 tabs – A powerful combination of herbs, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, Wellness Formula is the perfect pick to rebalance your well-being, whether you’re already feeling under the weather, or just trying to stay ahead of the storm this season. Suggested retail price…$11.99

Jarro-Dophilus EPS – Probiotics help support intestinal health and immune function. This shelf-stable formula is also vegetarian and gluten-free. Suggested retail price…$21.99

Mini Potato-Carrot Pancakes with Festive Sour Cream

Mini Potato-Carrot Pancakes with Festive Sour Cream are perfect for vegetarian and those watching their sodium or sugar intake. Make these easy bites ahead, if you like. Once cooled, layer them between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container then re-crisp on a lightly oiled baking sheet in a 400°F oven just before serving. There are three choices for flavoring the sour cream—spicy, savory or sweet and sour. Choose your favorite or reduce the amounts to make all three and offer a variety. Thank you Whole Foods Merchants Walk for this delicious idea!

Yield: 2 dozen
Ingredients:
1/2 cup light sour cream
1 small chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, minced OR 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard OR 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 small yellow onion, grated
2 large carrots (about 1/2 pound), peeled and grated
1 large russet potato (about 3/4 pound), peeled, grated and squeezed to remove excess water
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

In a small bowl combine sour cream with your flavoring choice: chipotle pepper, mustard or cranberry sauce. Set aside. In a large bowl, fold together onions, carrots, potatoes, egg, flour, salt and pepper until well combined. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, form each pancake by dropping about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into the skillet. Space pancakes about an inch apart, flatten and cook, flipping once, until deep golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total. (Add remaining 3 tablespoons oil to skillet halfway through.) Transfer to a paper-towel lined baking sheet to drain briefly. Serve with a teaspoon of flavored sour cream on each.
