A cough here, a sniffle there. Cold and flu season is right around the corner. Chances are someone in your office or one of your friends has already been out sick. Think beyond orange juice and chemical cough syrup – think delicious, immunity boosting, clean, green foods that strengthen your immunity, decreasing your chances of getting sick. Dig in and reap the benefits. Try the “C food diet”: Skip the juicy fruit flavored Vitamin C supplements and vegetables. Think carrots, pumpkin and dark leafy greens, like lacinato kale, Swiss chard and Mizuna. Good for the Tummy, Bacteria: Probiotics are chock full of good bacteria that strengthen your immune system. Think of it like extra health insurance for your bod. Go Greek for an extra protein boost when your energy is dragging. Think zinc: Foods like pepitas, pumpkin seeds, wheat germ, sesame, lean beef and even chocolate (!) are rich in zinc, which may reduce the duration of your cold. Soup, for the Soul: Whether you choos
