    Liposomal Vitamin C. One teaspoon a day during the typical cold-fever season. It is very important to give this to the children -- they are the ones who bring home the cold, from their daycare or primary schools.

    Google for how to prepare liposomal vitamin C.
    The basic principle is that vitamin C, a pretty good anti-oxidant, can be a preventative against the common cold. However, one has to eat a large amount of it, so that a small portion of it is "bio-available". The rest of it quickly passes through the kidneys and gone. In order to make the thoroughly water soluble vitamin C to be somewhat resistant to water solubility, and quick exit from the body, we use lipids (oils).

    Liposomal Vitamin C is prepared by whipping (using a Sumeet or similar machine) some vitamin C tablets (ascorbic acid is another name for V-C) with oil/water to make a find emulsion. That emulsion is usually stabilized (for storage in a bottle) with a small emulsifying additive.

    Here is a video... There are quite a number of others on the internet. All of them are based on the same principle; making vitamin-C an emulsion in an oil makes it release slowly, and therefore more bio-available, and not go through the kidney (urine) and be wasted.

    Note: Dont bother with ultrasonic machine; just the sumeet or any other blender of reasonably high wattage would do a good job. I use the jewelry cleaning ultrasonic machine. This US-cleaner is great for 22 carat jewelries that have a lot of nooks and crannies for dirt to get into.

    Health lifestyles that combine sensible eating with regular physical activity increase your quality of life. Overweight or obesity increases your risk for high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer, arthritis, and breathing problems. Proper weight is key to health and a long life.

    Onion is a good source of c-vitamin too. Even better than oranges.
