We all know the winter months can be very challenging on the immune system, so let me give you some tips for keeping the immune systems as strong as possible in these cold winter months.
Number one, keep that nervous system clear and balanced with regular chiropractic care. The nervous system controls the immune system.
Number two, drink plenty of water. It's very dry in winter months, and staying hydrated will help flush toxins out, as well as keep the cells, tissues, organs of the immune system nice and hydrated.
Number three, make sure you get plenty of sleep. Sleep is where the body repairs, and that includes the immune system.
Number four, stay active. Keep that activity up. Activity, getting the heart rate up, increases blood flow, which brings oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the cells, and then takes away all the waste and carbon dioxide, as well as activity specifically activates the immune system. Speaking of oxygen, try and get outside and get some fresh air. We are cooped up inside all day long, and our bodies need that fresh air and oxygen.
Number six, consider adding supplements like vitamin, D, zinc and elderberry to your daily routine.
Be Well
