Immune Support

Are you or your kids always catching something funky once the school year rolls back around? This could be due to a weakened immune system, which can be influenced by a myriad of factors, including diet, stress, and sleep.

As a healthy body is essential in fighting any infection, a nutrient-rich diet is extremely important. Start by reducing alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and refined carbohydrates. Next, increase the intake of antioxidant-rich foods and beverages such as fruit, vegetables, and green tea. Add more zinc-rich foods to your plate, including pumpkin seeds, lentils, turkey, chicken, and fish. Cook with more garlic, onions, and probiotic-rich foods such as sauerkraut, which are also great immune-supporting foods.

Maintaining a low-stress level is key when it comes to building a strong immune system. Stress suppresses the immune response, resulting in more frequent bouts of colds and flus. Increase time spent in meditation, practice fun forms of movement, and reduce time exposed to news and other sources which create panic and stress.

A consistent sleep routine is pivotal in maintaining a strong immune system. Better sleep starts with stress support, plenty of movement each day, and avoiding screens before bedtime. A sleep-supporting diet can also help! Try eating magnesium and L-tryptophan-rich foods such as turkey, nuts, and fatty fish at dinnertime and enjoy a cup of relaxing chamomile tea afterward.

In terms of supplements, the combination of vitamins C and D is a powerhouse for supporting cells and tissues that may be compromised from an infection. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant and has proven to be an effective intervention in colds and flus. Vitamin D supplementation is recommended by medical professionals as those with low levels of vitamin D are shown to be more susceptible to viral infection.
