Keep the Flu Season out in the COLD

For some of us, the cold winter months are here to stay! 

Sadly this also means the cold and flu season is upon us. Have you ever noticed that some people just never get sick; no cold, no flu, nothing. You may be thinking "lucky them" but the in reality, the cold weather is not related to catching a cold but due to a decrease in our immune systems. 

The average healthy adult might catch 2 colds per year but by strengthening your immune system all year round, but particularly when more people are sick, will help keep you energized and healthy. 

Some tips to help keep your immune system functioning as efficiently as possible if you start to feel cold or flu symptoms coming on:

Get plenty of REST: This allows your body to repair itself and minimize added stress.

INCREASE your consumption of liquids: Water is the best way to increase your liquids. Water has many benefits to the body:

•   Transports nutrients and oxygen into cells

•   Moisturizes the air in lungs

•   Helps with metabolism

•   Protects our vital organ

•   Helps our organs to absorb nutrients better

•   Regulates body temperature

•   Detoxifies

•   Protects and moisturizes our joints

GET Proper Nutrition: Enjoying some amazing whole foods and avoiding high fat and sugars is not just good for your waist line. It is also amazing for your immune system. 

TAKE your VITAMINS: If you increase your intake of whole healthy foods, a multivamin is a top up. Vitamin C and A with beta-carotene both have the ability to enhance immunity.
