Immune Prep for the Holidays 👇
The holidays come with their fair share of gatherings, sugar, and stress—all challenging our immune systems a bit more than at other times of year!
For immune support, consider…
1️⃣ Daily Movement
Moving your body gets your circulation and lymphatics flowing, relieves stress, and decreases your susceptibility to falling sick.
2️⃣ 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.
3️⃣ 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.
4️⃣ Immune-Supportive Supplements
Consider taking a multivitamin or some extra nutrients like vitamin D or zinc through the cold and flu season.
5️⃣ 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 body’s resilience.
