Healthy Travels with Supplements and Nuts

We've all experienced it - some of us lately - getting on the plane with 147 people, 142 of them coughing and sneezing into the recirculated air of the plane. By the time we've left Alaska airspace, the whole plane is just one big flying infirmary. I know there are things we can do to help ward off the ugly travel bugs. I just read a good article with some awesome suggestions on a health blog at http://www.healthyfellow.com. He has an article on supplements he takes when he is traveling.

There are three supplements he suggest when traveling. One has echineacea in it. Yes, the same thing we all take when we get a cold. But who knew it was good for travel? Another supplement has garlic. Yes garlic. Just imagine that 3 hour flight with a crowded plane and everybody smelling like garlic. Or is that lasagna being served in first class? Well, I can put up with garlic for a healthier trip. You can read the whole article on the blog for July 15, 2009.

And for the nut lovers in our group - yes, you know who you are - check out the entry for July 10 exalting the nutrition of the nut. Yes, 2009 is destined to be the "year of the nut" according to the healthyfellow. And doesn't that suit some of us just fine.
