The holiday has officially begun, and we often find ourselves plagued with illness! So,the following information is just some general advice to help you stay healthy this holiday season, and boost your immune system along the way. I realize that we all indulge at times, and your only human if you do! By trying to incorporate some the tips below, you will be able to indulge the whole holiday season, and not miss out on any great holiday parties!! Remember; never underestimate the healing power of sleep!
Ø Eat well-balanced meals and avoid foods that suppress your immunity, such as high sugar and processed foods.
Ø Daily intake of a well-balanced multi vitamin/mineral. This will support your immune system by providing you with all the required vitamins.
Ø Take 1000 IU of Vitamin D daily. Canadians need to take Vitamin D as we are deficient of this vitamin during the fall and winter season. Daily intake will increase your energy and boost your immune system!
Ø Take 400 IU of Vitamin E daily. Vitamin E is high in gamma- tocopherol, which has anti-inflammatory qualities.
Ø Buffered Vitamin C 1000mg daily. If you are feeling worn out, you can take this amount up to 3 times daily.
Ø Drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily, will keep you well hydrated. This also helps to flush out the toxins.
Ø Avoid exhaustion. This lowers your immunity and greatly increases your risk of infection. Try to get at least 8 hours of GOOD sleep nightly.
Ø Remember to wash your hands. Hand sanitizers are good for when you are not close to a restroom. Clean commonly used surfaces often. Vinegar is a great sanitizer for household surfaces!
Homeopathy is a useful tool to have readily available. Homeopathy stimulates the healing response that is already in process; further strengthening the body’s own immune system!
Yours in health,
Amanda
