Is Your Immune System Ready for Fall?
Getting ready for school or for flying down south doesn’t look the same as it did a few years ago. A lot has changed, especially when it comes to what our bodies are faced with and how it responds.
Building immunity, naturally, is key to maintaining good health and resilience against illnesses and the myriad stressors we are faced with on a daily basis.
Here are a list of our doctor’s best things you before August disappears and September suddenly arrives!
First and foremost, we’ve got access, right now, to veg and fruit fresh picked at your local farm markets. These nutrient dense fresh foods make the best medicine and preventative. Adopting a nutrient-rich diet consisting of whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, can provide the necessary vitamins and minerals to support immune function.
Regular exercise not only helps manage weight and reduce stress but also improves circulation, which aids in the proper functioning of our immune system.
Prioritizing quality sleep is vital, as it allows our bodies to recharge and repair.
Managing stress levels through relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga can prevent chronic stress from weakening our immune system.
Lastly, incorporating herbs and supplements like echinacea, garlic, and probiotics into our daily routine can provide an extra boost to our natural defenses. By incorporating these practices into our lifestyle, we can strengthen our immune system naturally and safeguard our overall well-being.
