Back to School IMMUNE SUPPORT
BACK TO SCHOOL, Flu season, fall weather, busyness setting in.. This is the EXACT time its crucial to be supporting your immune system in all the ways that you can!
Here are some simple steps you can take to support yourself and your family members daily:
1. NOURISH your body with immune supportive foods
We all know that our body NEEDS specific nutrients to function properly- well so does our immune system. Vitamin A, D, and C are all crucial for immune health. Eat foods rich in these vitamins and nutrients such as: egg yolks, bone broth, chicken, sweet pot, carrots, cantaloupe, spinach, butternut squash, pumpkin, raw garlic, and bone broth.
2. Get enough SLEEP
Sleep restores and heals our bodies- its when our bodies ‘take out the trash’. If we aren’t sleeping, it’s almost impossible for our immune systems to function properly! Ideally you want to be getting 7-8 hours of sleep per night. If you have trouble sleeping here are a few tips that may help:
Stabilize blood sugar before bed
Wind down with a relaxing evening routine
Brian dump journaling
Diffuse relaxing essential oils
Stay away from social media 1 hour before bed
3. Take control of your stress
Stress DIRECTLY affects the function of our immune system. Practice reducing and managing your daily stress through routines, meditations, yoga, breath work, aromatherapy, or any other stress reduction practice that works best for YOU. (p.s. If stress is an area you struggle with, its going to be the first area you want to address ;) )
4. Take care of your digestive system
Over 70% of your immune system lives in your gut! If you do no take proper care of your gut, it has a HUGE impact on your immune system! A few simple ways to make sure you are supporting your digestive system is to eat whole foods, use probiotics, and stay away from inflammatory/ processed foods that cause irritation.
5.Support your body with natural tools
