Stay Healthy This Winter!
There is no reason that the winter season has to be marked by bouts of colds and flu. There ARE a number of extra challenges in the winter months- shorter days, colder weather and extra holiday stress to name a few- but maintaining the strength of your immune system is not that hard.
#1 - Keep your vitamin D levels up.
There is no single other nutrient as important in maintaining your immune system. Almost certainly, most of the folks reading this right now are deficient! We can order a blood test to check your level if you are a WholeCare patient. Even without testing I would suggest taking Green Pastures Blue Ice Fermented Cod Liver Oil capsules to supply extra highly absorbable vitamin D. Watch out for highly processed commercial cod liver oil- it is far less effective.
#2 - Take Immuplex.
Immuplex helps to support all the organs of your immune system. Three per day throughout the season is sufficient.
#3 - Drink lots of water.
The luxury of living in warm buildings comes at a high price – dehydration! Due to dry environments and inadequate consumption of water our mucous membranes (the protective lining of our nose, sinuses, throat and lungs) breaks down making us much more vulnerable to germs and allergens.
#4 - At the first sign of a “bug” or an immune challenge add in Congaplex at 3-4 capsules three or four times daily.
Most times you will be incredibly better within 24 hours.
#5 - Maintain a practice of movement.
Some type of exercise, yoga, tai chi, qi gong, stretching, aerobics (ANYTHING that you enjoy that allows you to move and feel your body) when practiced regularly, will do a lot to keep your immune system supple and able to handle the “bugs” you encounter this season.
So simply: Drink lots of water, move your body, take fermented cod liver oil, Immuplex and Congaplex. Winter is a wonderful season of regrouping and restoration. Enjoy its beauty in good health.
