The temperature drops outside and sometimes that means our body temperature rises due to common illnesses. We have a few easy tips to help you prevent colds and flus this winter season.
-
Wash your hands often with warm soapy water. We know this is the
most cliché tip, but it’s also one of the most important. Stop the
spread of germs by washing your hands thoroughly.
-
Keep your hands away from your face if possible. Germs most com-
monly enter through our eyes, nose, and mouth.
-
Get plenty of sleep! Sleep deprivation weakens your immune system
and increases your chances of catching a bug or virus.
-
Drink water. Water has so many health benefits and keeping yourself
hydrated helps keep your body healthy!
-
Get plenty of Vitamin C & D! These two vitamins are the strongest
for boosting your immune system and fighting off illnesses.
-
Exercise. Yes it does get difficult to exercise when the sun sets at
5pm but getting your body moving boosts your immune function!
-
Get a Chiropractic Adjustment! Fun fact about chiropractic: it can
help boost your immune system! By keeping the nervous system free
of interference (misalignments) your body can work at maximum
capacity and fight off colds and flus effectively.
