Summary
The food that you eat plays an enormous role in how strong our immune system is!
Join "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll and Dr. Jasmol Sardana as they examine how to fight a cold and flu with food! Did you know that the average person in the U.S. will catch a cold two to three times every year and tens of millions of others will come down with the flu?
Find out the best foods to eat to help you stay healthy while everyone around you seems to be coughing and sneezing up a storm on this episode!
Beyond food, Chuck and Dr. Jasmol also discuss the vegan flu shot, Flublok. This vaccine uses no eggs during the creation process and is believed to be the best option for those eating a vegan diet. And if you're wondering why a person would still need a flu shot if they're eating a healthy diet, Dr. Jasmol sheds light on that too!
