The winter months are usually no one’s favorite…it tends to be dark, gloomy, and cold, very cold. This is the time of year that everyone is susceptible to getting sick and the immune system is working overtime to keep from getting a cold, the flu, or even just the sniffles.
Things you can do to help YOUR immune system during the winter…
1. Exercise
a. Resisting the urge to be a couch potato especially during the cold months is a hard task but an important one. Getting the right exercise is important because it keeps your mind and body in good shape. The time when people gain the most weight of the year is around the holidays and if you limit the amount of food intake and always exercise, whether at home or at the gym, you’re sure to be heathier.
2. Vitamins
a. Antioxidants are super important to the everyday life. Your body needs vitamins such as vitamin C, D, E, Zinc, and many more to help boost your immune system and boost what vitamins your body already has built naturally in the body itself.
3. Get Enough Sleep
a. If your body is not balanced in the correct way by getting enough sleep then it will throw off the hormones in your body and you are more susceptible to getting sick and becoming depressed and sick, as well.
4. Chiropractic
a. Seeing a chiropractor is regularly is proven to boost your immune system and by 200%. You can also reduce your risk of injury in your everyday life.
