The cold and flu season is upon us and it is time to start thinking about how you can deal with either preventing or at least taking the edge off of wintertime illnesses. At Evolution Integrative Medicine, we offer a wide range of fantastic services that can help you improve your overall health and wellness, especially when it comes to boosting your immune system. In today’s blog, we’re covering just that: How you can help bolster your body’s natural defenses against colds, the flu, and whatever else the world throws at you this year. If you have any of your stories for natural remedies to share, please don’t hesitate to let us know in the comments or shout us out on social media. We love hearing from you!
It Starts With Food: Build Your Defenses Naturally Through Power Packed Foods!
The first way we recommend helping to boost your immune system and your overall health profile is through eating a clean and healthy diet, especially if it includes immune boosting foods. Specifically, you can eat things like citrus fruits which are high in Vitamin C. We also recommend eating garlic, ginger, and leafy greens to help bring your immune system up to speed. Zinc also plays an important role in immune health, so try to get in a few servings of nuts, seeds, and shellfish each week as well.
Water For Your Overall Health
Just plain old water can do wonders for your body’s immune system. Staying hydrated is a fantastic way to ensure that your body can supply your cells with everything they need to fight off infections and to battle viruses. When you’re sick, oftentimes the first nutrient to leave your body is water. Your body needs water to stay in the fight!
Fortify Your Body’s Natural Defenses With Strategic Doses Of Supplements
Keeping immune boosting food on hand is one way to help give your body what it needs to fight illness, but it doesn’t hurt to keep an ace in the hole. That’s where supplements come in. Keep a bottle of Vitamin C and D around to help give you a boost when you think you need it. We also recommend Zinc and Elderberry which help reduce cold severity and duration. If you feel a cold coming on, then reach for these bottles to help you fight it faster.
Choose The Natural Defense IV Blend
We are proud to offer a great array of IV therapy packages at our office and one you should keep in the back of your mind is our Natural Defense IV blend. This IV cocktail (no, not THAT kind of cocktail) helps to deliver powerful immune system boosting nutrients directly to your bloodstream with a high degree of bio-availability, more so than by taking a pill or food.
