Strengthen Your Defenses.
With winter on it’s way we can all look forward to colds infections and flu. But are you doing your part in helping your body get through the maze of germs and viruses that are about? The key immune boosting vitamins are A, C and B6 with minerals, magnesium and zinc. Vitamin C is strongly anti viral and has been tested against every virus from HIV to the common cold one of my favourite super vitamins. So here are a few tips to keep your immune system in order this winter.
-
Old one but a good one eat five servings of fruit and veg a day
-
Eat less meat and dairy.
-
Eat organic or free range eggs.
-
Avoid too much alcohol coffee and too many late nights.
-
Not enough rest and sleep depletes your immune system.
-
Take vitamin C every day through winter with zinc.
-
Take vitamin A and B6.
-
Exercise a little every day but don’t go mad as you risk weakening your immune system.
If you do get a cold up your intake of natural vitamin C for the first day to every hour, good luck everyone for the winter, I know i will be stocking up on my vits.
