It’s that time of year again!
Sneezing, wheezing and sleepless nights are just around the corner. With the ebola virus taking center stage too and scary news reports and headlines capturing everyone’s attention, it’s important to focus on ways to boost your immune system to keep it strong so that you’re immune from the threat altogether.
A great all-natural way to outsmart fevers, sneezes and coughs this winter without medication or the flu shot is with my 7-Step Cold & Flu Survival Guide*. Try any or all of these simple, low-budget steps and you’ll all but guarantee your chances of avoiding the bug this year!
-
Acupuncture. A go-to treatment for conditions like back pain and migraines, acupuncture is now recognized as a go-to solution for colds and flu too. [bctt tweet=”Acupuncture helps produce natural killer cells which is your top defense against sickness”] so that in the event you do, you'll be much stronger to fight off infection. One session per week for 5 weeks ought to do the trick nicely!
-
Eat more berries! A.k.a. Mother Nature’s “pills,” blueberries and other dark berries strengthen immune and help reduce inflammation. ½ to 1 cup per day – fresh or frozen – is all you need!
-
Chicken soup. This good old standby really works too! A soothing bowl of homemade chicken soup has anti-inflammatory properties which can ease symptoms of cold and flu, plus shorten upper respiratory tract infections. A great recipe can be found at goodhousekeeping.com/soupcures.
-
Exercise. As if exercise doesn’t offer enough benefits, doing some form of moderate daily activity, be it walking, biking, or jogging, can cut your number of colds in half! Increased breathing and blood flow are believed to aid the immune system, so make sure you make time to work out.
-
Probiotics. These little buggers are great for your gut – and can prevent the flu bug too as researchers believe probiotics may have flu-fighting potential. My recommendation is take probiotics in high-quality capsule form.
-
Keep your distance. Flu droplets can travel up to 6’, so if you see someone coughing or sneezing back up to avoid catching the virus!
- Meditate. Practicing mindfulness is your best line of defense against any illness, not just the flu, but in an 8-week study at the University of Wisconsin, participants reduced the length and severity of cold frequency from only 33% to 60% just by practicing meditation! A few minutes a day will work wonders for not just your mind, but body and soul too.
There's no mistaking that prevention wins out time and again with disease, therefore taking precautions now will give you peace of mind and confidence when the risk runs high.
