Kicking That Cold:
Researchers at the University of Virginia report that a three-prong strategy of anti-inflammatories, anti-histamines, and nose drops may be the quickest way to beat a cold. Never mind that your head will feel like a balloon! You could try hitting the gym like that, or take a preventative approach the next time (after all, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure). Give your immune system a boost before the cold hits with multivitamins, antioxidants (including vitamin C) and Glutamine. The multivitamin provides “nutritional insurance” against colds and nutrient deficiencies; the antioxidants and vitamin C stimulate the immune system, and the Glutamine may enhance its effectiveness by helping to produce immune system cells.

A Better Egg:
When you’re making 4-egg omelets every morning, the fat and cholesterol found in the yolks starts to add up. Next time your carton’s empty, try using an egg substitute. Egg substitutes supply all of the protein of whole eggs at a faction of the calories, without most of the fat and cholesterol. Some brands also provide added vitamins and minerals - namely, vitamins A, D, E, and B12, along with Iron and Folic Acid to help compensate for the missing yolk. Here’s another eggcellent idea: give powdered protein supplements and weight-gainers a try. Many contain a blend of egg and other quality proteins in easy-to-use, highly digestible formulas.
