Cold and flu season is here! Fight them with a few tricks and the right food. Important: wash your hands, especially when you come in from the outdoors.

Some liquids actually help you stay cooler than others. Soda and packaged juices are loaded with sugar that your body does not need. Apple juice has as much sugar as a regular coke! Your body has to generate heat to use that sugar. The best thing to drink to stay cool is lots of plain water or your favorite tea.
