BY CLAIR WHITTY
Are you feeling drained, exhausted, or worn out after a cold, flu, viral infection or an infection that has simply left you depleted of all energy?
When you were sick you probably lost your appetite or you went for all the wrong and easy to reach for foods. Now that you are ready some, even small, diet and lifestyle changes will help get you back on track. For example, warm soups, stews, and casseroles are a brilliant way to nurture your tired body. You can pop in lots of vegetables, herb and spices including ginger, turmeric, and garlic for extra support.
Keep hydrated and drink plenty of water, herbal teas, or ginger, lemon, and honey throughout the day. When you are ready getting back to exercise may help too but take it slowly, take your time, no rush. Your sleep was probably disrupted too; quality sleep is important for immune health. Herbal teas that contain Cammomile and Lemon Balm or herbal supplements may help.
There are many supplements that can help support energy and vitality. Here are some of our customers favourites:
Strath Original is a traditional tonic. When you take it a broad spectrum of naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and amino acids are released into the body. It will help to encourage the uptake of nutrients from the food that you eat too. It is ideal for energy and to gently support your immune system after illness. It is easily digested and absorbed and is suitable for all ages, from children to elderly, and is suitable during pregnancy too. Take three teaspoons per day.
Natures Plus Source of Life Gold is a blend of nutrients sourced from a wide range of foods that provide a broad range of nutrients. It is designed to support energy levels and immune recovery. You simply take one capful per day. It is a green liquid and you store it in the fridge.
If you had to take an antibiotic it may have disrupted the balance of the beneficial bacteria in your gut. Super 8 macrobiotics is a great option to replenish these good bacteria and to support immunity and digestion.
This is just some of our amazing nutrients to help you get back on track. Phone, email, or call in so we can help you to feel like yourself again.
