Immune Prep for Holidays

Immune Prep for the Holidays šŸ‘‡

The holidays come with their fair share of gatherings, sugar, and stressā€”all challenging our immune systems a bit more than at other times of year! 

For immune support, considerā€¦

1ļøāƒ£ Daily Movement

Moving your body gets your circulation and lymphatics flowing, relieves stress, and decreases your susceptibility to falling sick. 

2ļøāƒ£ Probiotic-Rich Foods

Remember that 70% of your immune cells are in your gut! Probiotic-rich foods (think yogurt, kefir, kombucha, and sauerkraut) support the gut microbiome. 

3ļøāƒ£ Vitamin C-Rich Foods

Oranges, grapefruits, broccoli, and bell peppers are excellent sources of vitamin C as well as other antioxidants to support immune health. 

4ļøāƒ£ Immune-Supportive Supplements

Consider taking a multivitamin or some extra nutrients like vitamin D or zinc through the cold and flu season. 

5ļøāƒ£ Sleep

One of the best things you can do for your immune system is to give your body time to rest and restore!

There are no guarantees when it comes to staying healthy through the winter months, but there are always ways to support your bodyā€™s resilience.
