A great initiative carried out annually by the Subway chain of sandwich outlets. To talk to about it and to give some background we have the Marketing Manager Ana Cristina Diaz. They are
offering two for the price on one, for each sandwich you buy you will get one for an equal or less value completely free. Subway will donate the cost of the Sandwich to the Banco Alimentos Panama (the Panama food bank).
In the last hour, a we do on a Friday we chat with Sara our Feisty Foodie, this week it is about food to help boost the immune system. Especially as we are coming to that time of the year when we are more likely to catch the flu. Here is Sara’s list of the basics:
- Get vaccinated!! Plus getting a flu shot, is also a great idea especially for kids, elderly people and people with compromised immune systems
- Hand washing and practicing good hygiene in general
- Cleaning and sanitizing, disinfecting surfaces
- Keeping the air clean! (did you know you need to stand about 12.s feet away from someone who sneezes to be “our of the zone”. Always make sure to cover your face when you sneeze or cough
- Exercising
- Drinking enough water (especially water with lemon)
- Getting enough sleep
- And …Eating foods that help prevent cold and flu, by making sure your defenses are high and you get enough Vitamin D, C, Zinc, fiber.
