It is that time of year again, Cold and Flu Season. Make sure you are taking steps to protect yourself.
Since none of us can afford to miss out on work or school, make sure your immune system is operating at the highest level. Now is a good time for preventive supplements such as extra Vitamin C, Zinc, Garlic, Astragalus, and Echinacea.
Eat healthy, balanced meals and avoid processed, fried, and high sugar foods. Try to eat fruits and/or vegetables at every meal and as snacks.
Take a moment to disinfect your environment, such as your desk, kitchen, bathroom and remote control.
It is also important to note the role stress plays in reducing your immune function. Chronic stress has the ability to lower your defenses and leave you vunerable to the Common Cold or Flu. It is important to reduce your stress levels and practice stress relieving techniques as often as possible.
With these simple tips, here's hoping you make it through this season without missing a beat!
However, if you do end up with the dreaded Cold or Flu this season, call and make an appointment with the Naturopath, Jennifer Houle, ND, LMT, and see what you can do naturally to support your health and wellness.
