Natural antibiotics


With any disease, aging of our body accelerates.

There are numerous foods with antibiotic action. Large amount of foods such as apples, tea, cabbage and onions contain substances called flavonoids. They interfere with the micro-organisms which attack our body. Flavonoids in tea help us get healthy when we are sick from flu and colds.


One of the most powerful flavonoids is called quercerin. It is present in large quantities in onion and cabbage. Studies of this flavonoid showed that it affects the DNA of viruses by not allowing them to reproduce. The quercerin blocks the development of herpes virus and viruses which cause colds.
