Immune System Boost for Winter (& Every Season of Life!)


Immune System Boost for Winter (& Every Season of Life!)

Cold weather can really do a number on our health. Our routines get thrown-off, we don’t sleep as well, and there is more risk of us catching a cold. Navigate the winter and holiday season without losing sight of the biggest gift of all: your health.

Give your immune system a helping hand with these 4 science-backed tips.

Tip #1: Get early morning light.

Prevent seasonal depression from kicking in by getting that early morning sunlight. Sunlight is rich in Vitamin D. Up to 90% of our Vitamin D intake is from the sun which helps slow the aging process and boost our immune systems. Vitamin D is also shown to have a natural anti-depressant effect meaning that you can naturally incrementally improve your mood by soaking in sun rays.


Tip #2: Go easy on the sugar.

With all the tasty treats of the season, it is easy to fall into temptation. We are not saying to not indulge in these delicacies, but rather to do so responsibly. After all, eating sugar in excess has been linked to a variety of health issues. Eating a meal filled with vegetables and protein prior to eating sugary treats has been shown to decrease peaks in your glucose levels by up to 50%. Having a protein rich meal prior to eating sugar is a simple way to regulate blood sugar.  


Tip #3: Relax a little.

According to a survey conducted by Healthline, 62% of respondents reported an elevated level of stress during the holidays due to financial demands, navigating family dynamics, and difficulty to stick to a routine to take care of oneself during the holidays. When you are stressed, your levels of cortisol elevate, meaning there are fewer lymphocytes to fight off infection, so your immune system becomes compromised. Practicing mindfulness, meditation, and deep breathing exercises can help decrease your stress levels which, in turn, can lead to boosting your immune system.


Tip #4: Wear Immune Boost Patches.

With your immunity being impaired by natural factors during the winter season, give your body the extra support it needs with our Immune Boost Patches. They are designed to work directly with your body to boost your innate immune system naturally. They have been clinically-proven to be effective and are safe for all ages.

Choosing just two or three of these to implement can help you feel your best during the winter season before you begin to make any New Year’s resolutions.
