We are in the season once again of colds and flu, stuffy noses, and viral infections. Here are some tips to get you through this season as healthy as can be.
A healthy diet rich in antioxidants is a great place to start. Antioxidants help protect the cells in the body from damage. Fresh fruit and vegetables are a rich source of these. Herbs and spices like garlic, ginger, and turmeric too, and ideal for adding to soups and curries. Goji Berries, Moringa powder, Acai Berries are all a natural source of antioxidants and can be added to yoghurts, breakfast cereal, or smoothies. Herbal teas make a simple addition to your daily routine, one of my favourites is Pukka Elderberry and Echinacea, it tastes great too.
Healthy sleep, exercise, balancing your energy levels, and keeping stress under control will all add up to helping to support your immune system too. Supplements can be added in for extra help when you are busy or you are surrounded by people who are coughing and spluttering.
You may be taking Vitamin D already as part of your protocol for health. You can top this up other immune supporting supplements like Vitamin C and Zinc, these work well together. One supplement that you might like is Solgar Ester-C Plus- 24 Hour Immune Support. It contains Ester-C (stays in the body longer and is more absorbable than other forms of Vitamin C), as well as Zinc, B Vitamins, and Magnesium. It is designed to support immunity and help with energy release. It is also good for brain function especially for those of you where focus is sluggish when dealing with infection.
You might like the fact that it is an effervescent drink, so no big pills to swallow. Solgar Ester C Plus is a refreshing orange flavoured supplement formulated to help get you through the day. It provides 24-hour immune support to help to you to recharge.
You can take it preventatively on a daily basis to help deal with a cold, or to support recovery after illness. Simply take one sachet, mixed in water, or smoothie or even to zing up your protein drink once a day.
