⭐️ Thursday Tip ⭐️
We all get run down at times - and when we do, we should focus on Digestion. Digestive Health IS Immune Health
as over 70% of our gut bacteria and immune system is in our gut.
When this gets unbalanced through foods, drinks, antibiotics, hormonal changes and stress
we suppress our immune system, energy and likely fat loss.
Here's 7 tips to bring back some balance;
- Boost Your Gut Health: Incorporate fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, or kefir into your diet to support gut health and strengthen your immune system. I take a decent probiotic taken regularly massively helps
- Load Up on Colourful Veggies: Fill your
plate with a rainbow of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. These powerhouse foods support immune function and keep you feeling vibrant.
- Prioritise Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your body to rest and repair. Sleep is crucial for a strong immune system and overall
health.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated and support optimal immune function. Herbal teas and broths can also provide hydration and additional immune-boosting benefits
- Manage
Stress: Chronic stress can weaken your immune system over time. Incorporate stress-reducing practices like meditation, yoga, deep breathing exercises, or spending time in nature to support your body's defense mechanisms
- Move Your Body: Regular physical activity not only improves cardiovascular health
and strengthens muscles but also enhances immune function.
- Limit Sugar/Alcohol and Processed Foods: Excess sugar and processed foods can suppress immune function and contribute to inflammation.
