Staying Healthy any time of year can be challenge but it’s particularly tough when seasons change. Our bodies also changes when the world around it does.
1. Simply eat right. That means lay off the junk food and learn to love fruits and vegetables. Raw food is real food.
2. Exercise, exercise, exercise. The benefits of exercise on robust health are too numerous to mention here. It’s not an option, it’s something that you have to do. If you’re just starting out, begin walking and work up to 30 minutes sessions, 3- 5 days a week.
3. Get some sun. Vitamin D is made when our skin comes in contact with sunlight. That’s a problem because this vitamin is vital to the immune system. Using sun block interferes with that process. 20 minutes of sunlight can produce quite a bit of Vitamin D. If you remain unconvinced, take a Vitamin D3 supplement.
4. Omega 3 – Fish oil. This is a must. Since the majority of our food is processed, our diets have too many Omega 6 oils and very little Omega 3’s. Omega 3 comes from flax and cold water fish. Taking an Omega 3 supplements will support the heart, brain and immune system.
5. Detoxify. Face it, most of us are walking garbage cans. We’ve been eating bad food, breathing bad air and drinking polluted water for years. Eating right and drinking plenty of water help. There are also many supplements that stimulate the liver and help cleanse the colon. That’s a subject for another article.
6. Sleep. Some times we get so caught up in our overloaded schedules, that we put off sleeping to get more done. Bad idea. Lack of sleep reduces the production of T-cells, the linchpin of the immune system. Get a good night’s sleep every night and keep your immune system at peak performance.
