If you’re worried about catching the flu — and who isn’t right now? — your simplest defense is a diet rich in antioxidants and whole, healthy foods. Of course, that’s easier said than done when you’re traveling or logging long hours at the office. For this week’s #HealthHack, we’ve rounded up immune-system boosting foods and beverages that you can get on the go and eat anywhere. More
It may be taking your friends and family members down one by one, but if you haven`t been hit yet (or if you are just starting your symptoms) there is still hope to make it through the season unscathed. Here are five natural tips to get you cut down on cold and flu symptoms or outlast the winter. More
If you’re anything like me and my family, you’ve spent quite a few holiday seasons sniffling your way around the tree (or the menorah, or yule log, or whatever it may be in your family or culture).  It just plain sucks that cold and flu season coincides with “the most wonderful time of the year,” but we’ve come up with a few tips that will help you prevent a cold–and stay germ-free–over the next few weeks.  Here’s how to stay healthy over the holidays.

It’s official: Cold and flu season is fully upon us. And while there are a few tried-and-true home remedies for stuffy noses and scratchy throats, few get the coveted Grandma Seal of Approval quite like a hot bowl of chicken soup. But as a vegetarian, I’ve found myself wondering: What’s my Nana-approved cure-all? Is there a vegetarian-friendly alternative that still offers the same miraculous healing powers of chicken soup?

For almost two years, I’ve been working as a freelance writer and editor. Which means, aside from getting to largely be my own boss (and accounting department, and health care provider, and PR team), I also get to work from home, which really is great. But recently, I started actually going into a real business establishment regularly–and I was reminded of the single biggest home office perk: Avoiding cold and flu season almost entirely. More
Old magazines at the doctor’s office are pretty low-hanging comedic fruit. Such a fact of life are the years-old editions of Self and Highlights, they’re not really even a joke anymore–they’re just there, with their Atkins-era recipes and holiday decorating tips that seem laughably unimportant when you’re shivering in the air-conditioned waiting room in June. But according to one British health official, those old magazines may be no laughing matter. They might actually pose a health risk to patients who handle them. Really? More
Here’s the good news: According to a Gallup poll out today, regular exercise among Americans is slightly up, across the board. Yay! But, of course, there’s bad news, too. Which is that we’re entering the season where, statistically, year after year, people start to abandon their workout routines and head indoors. So this fall and winter, let’s make a pact: We’re going to exercise our way through it. More

It’s that time of year again. During the next few weeks, drugstores across the country will be putting their spookiest witches, pumpkins, skeletons, and vampires on display. But, like usual, the festive decorations will be sharing window space with signs advertising something less scary (but maybe as mysterious): the flu shot. More
