What are we prioritizing?
Keeping our immune systems strong!
The
changing season brings with it a host of challenges to our health and well-being. With the return of children to school, the resurgence of activity in gyms, and the reopening of workplaces, we find ourselves surrounded by new germs, viruses and illnesses.
Now, more than ever, is the time to prioritize
strong immune systems. Here are 5 things you can do now to insure a healthy 2nd half of the year:
Proper Nutrition: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains provides essential vitamins and minerals that support immune function. Load up on probiotic rich
foods.
Regular Exercise: Physical activity helps improve circulation and can enhance the immune response.
Adequate Sleep: Prioritize quality sleep to allow your body to rest and regenerate, a
vital aspect of immune health.
Stress Management: Chronic stress can weaken the immune system. Explore relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga to reduce stress levels.
Sufficient
Hydration: Staying well-hydrated with 80-100 oz. a day is key to optimal immune function.
