Now that Winter has arrived, you’re probably thinking of supporting your immune function.
There is a lot of information online regarding supplements and substances that claim to boost immune function. The trouble is that a lot of this is simply general information, and it doesn't take any of your particular health needs or concerns into consideration.
As a trained Naturopath I use my knowledge and perform due diligence to assess which if any supplements and lifestyle changes suit you and your particular set of health needs. For example : Are you sensitive or allergic to certain foods or substances? Are you on prescribed medications? Or do you have particular health concerns or conditions? Please seek professional advice from a Naturopath, GP, or pharmacist and discuss your individual health situation before purchasing or taking supplements.
Finally, here are some Winter health tips!
· Reduce stress – being stressed reduces immune system function, so make sure you incorporate regular time-out, meditation and/or ‘green’ time, such as walking outdoors or playing with pets
· Enjoy regular exercise
· Sleep – aim for 7 to 8 hours each night to restore energy and increase resilience
· Eat your vegies and fruit – at least three cups of fresh vegetables and/or salad, plus two serves of fresh fruit every day! Fill your plate with a rainbow of colour to ensure an abundance of essential nutrients and other antioxidants that will help support healthy immune system cells
· Regularly wash your hands – simple soap and warm water helps reduce cross-contamination.
· Cough and sneeze hygiene is important. Cough or sneeze into your elbow or if using a tissue then bin it. And then, either way... wash your hands with soap and water.
