"Vitamins" and "Super Foods"

During this swine flu season I've been brushing up on my knowledge of the value of healthy foods and important vitamins. Right now approximately half of the children in my children's public school are away sick with what is likely the H1N1 virus, a.k.a. "swine flu."

My family is currently taking multivitamins plus vitamin D, vitamin C, and Calcium/Magnesium. I have no idea whether or not the vitamins will help protect us against the virus but since the swine flu vaccine is only available to those in the high risk category in our area there isn't much to lose by popping some extra vitamins.

If you visit this link to the weight loss pills website you can find out some interesting information on "super foods," which are filled with antioxidants. One side of eating a diet based on healthy foods of course is weight loss, the other benefit is a boosted immune system. Both a great reason to start thinking about how many nutrients your really getting from your daily diet.
