Yes, it is here again like a bad penny.  Why there should be more viruses about when the weather gets colder I don't know but that is the way it seems to work.

Maybe it is being cooped up in offices, classrooms, buses and trains but the bugs just keep flying around at this time of year.

A few years ago, in this very month of November, I started a part time job in Newcastle city centre, which necessitated journeys on the Metro system alongside the sneezing, coughing & snuffling folks in the area.

A few weeks later I went down with a stinking cold and actually had to go home from work, I was that ill. Shortly after that I read about a supplement called Beta Glucan - 1,3/1,6-D, which I promptly started taking.  

I can honestly say I never had another bad cold in the year or so I travelled on the Metro or after that.  I still take it every winter and now stop sniffles before they get started by doubling my dose temporarily.

I tell a lot of people about Beta Glucan because it works at building your immune system, so it can fight off the bugs we come into contact with every day!

Wishing you a healthy winter!
