🍎 Today’s Health Question ~ Can the Foods You Eat Help Prevent the Common Cold?
Answer: Yes They Can.
The foods you eat can also help prevent the cold. Yogurt, with all its probiotic glory, has been shown to boost the immune system, and one serving of seaweed packs more vitamin C than an orange. Another immunity booster? The autumn favorite: pumpkins.
🌾 Today’s Poem ~ Gifts
Gifts
Sara Teasdale
I gave my first love laughter,
I gave my second tears,
I gave my third love silence
Through all the years.
My first love gave me singing,
My second eyes to see,
But oh, it was my third love
Who gave my soul to me.
