We\u2019ve reached that time of year when office sniffles and\nchildren staying home sick from school is more common than not. With this\nyear\u2019s flu predictions expected to be more prevalent, now\u2019s an important time\nto focus on staying healthy and battling it out for the rest of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A strong immune system is a great place to start because it\nworks as a natural defense to ward off any possible attacks on your health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are some tips for boosting your immune system this\nwinter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fundamental principle for protecting the spread of\ndisease is cleanliness. During flu season be sure to be extra adamant about\nwashing your hands with warm water and soap frequently throughout the day. You\nmight also want to carry around some extra hand sanitizer and tissues so you\u2019re\nnever in a situation where germs can be spread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping your body in good working order requires feeding it wholesome, nutrient-dense foods it needs as well as providing movement and oxygen to your system. Even if it’s colder outside, don\u2019t let that be a reason you skip your daily walks (use a treadmill or take advantage of an empty shopping mall earlier in the day to get your steps in.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Give yourself a little extra boost of protection with\nsupplements. These can be used (after consulting with your doctor) to enhance\nthe vitamins your body is already producing. Do things like improve digestion,\ndetox the body and even improve your mood. To help with your immune systems\nspecifically things like ginger tea, bone broth and turmeric are especially\nbeneficial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
