Heres a tip for keeping healthy through it. Stop by your local juice bar for a wheat grass shot, then chase it down with some fresh apple juice. Afterwards, buy yourself a bag of apples and munch away. The quercetin in apples may help bolster your immune system during vulnerable times. Apples (and red onions, broccoli, and tea) are great sources of quercetin -- a flavonoid that may stave off the influenza virus when the body is under stress. In a recent animal study, quercetin did just that: The normal dip in immunity that comes with physical fatigue was pretty much cancelled out by the flavonoid. If it works as well in humans, quercetin could help power the body through both physical and psychological stress. Since apples are in season...juice one or eat one today!
