Wouldn’t you love to say “No cold this year!”? The truth is a strong immune system is your best defence again disease.
To prevent colds and flu’s this winter season we recommend getting a step ahead with a game plan to support your immune system.
Build up your resistance by supporting your immune system through healthy eating, exercise, rest and plenty of water. Give yourself an extra boost with targeted natural supplements.
As Benjamin Franklin noted, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Stress less
Stress can leave you susceptible to sickness. Peter Balogh, Naturopath says “Clients often fall ill after overwork or emotional upsets. Managing stress by keeping a sane schedule including relaxation eases immune system strain.”
Exercise waste away
Moving your body flushes toxins through the lymphatics, pumping immune cells to needy areas. Consistent exercise helps to reduce colds. Activity also stimulates the respiratory system to expel mucus and bowels to excrete waste.
Defense downers
When your body’s busy battling toxins like alcohol, cigarettes, chemicals and sugar it has less energy to eliminate infections. Banish bugs by eating fresh foods, drinking filtered water, and washing hands.
