With Winter season in full swing, the all too familiar colds & flu season comes along with this.
When we get struck with a cold or the flu our bodies go into overdrive to isolate, and then attack the source of the illness.
HOW CAN WE AVOID GETTING SICK?
- Make sure you are sleeping between 6-8hrs per night
- Eat healthy nutrient-dense food which includes seasonal vegetables, leafy green, and high fibre carbohydrates.
- Drink plenty of water, it is recommended 2.5L a day
- When feeling stressed manage it by taking some time out even if this means going out for a walk, reading a book or talking to someone.
- Get into a routine of regular exercise. A couple of times a week 2-3 is a good start, working out encourages the immune system to produce new disease fighting white blood cells.
OTHER WINTER HELPFUL TIPS TO TAKE ON BOARD:
A clean house is just as important, keep warm, and wear layers of clothes, make sure you are often checking the temperature.
