Are you recovering from one of the many sicknesses that are doing the rounds? Here are some tips to help you get back to full health as quickly as possible.
Firstly, pay attention to your diet. Some foods have beneficial properties and will speed recovery. These anti-inflammatory foods include foods containing omega-3 fatty acids (such as salmon, nuts, seeds and eggs), fresh colourful fruit and veg, whole grains, lean protein (Fish, eggs, organic unprocessed meat, lentils and beans), healthful fats such as olive oil, flax or Udos ultimate oil blend which contains omega-3,6 and 9 fatty acids, and also try to use spices – especially turmeric, blackpepper and ginger.

70% of your immune system is in your gut. If you’ve been on antibiotics you need to replenish your beneficial gut bacteria so a course of probiotics is essential.
