Prevent the Common Cold and Flu this Season with Natural Remedies
As the weather gets cooler and the days shorter, we start to wonder when the dreaded diseases of the season will descend upon us. The key to staying healthy well beyond flip-flop season is managing your susceptibility and boosting your immune system.
Have you noticed that flu season tends to correspond with the holiday season? Pumpkin lattes, Halloween candy, and delicious desserts may be less than jolly for your body. Overindulgence in sugar, alcohol, and food allergens can do a number on your immune system. Similarly, lack of sleep and elevated stress affect your body’s natural ability to fight off viruses and bacteria.
The first step to preventing illness is self-care.
- Nourish your body with lots of water
- Get plenty of rest
- Maintain your exercise routine
- Mitigate stress with deep breathing and calming activities
- Find ways to make healthy food choices
- Indulge in moderation
