Feeling drained? These Immune Support tips can help you get back to balance and wellness quickly. Those seasonal sick bugs are floating around, and if you are feeling under the weather, It is time to self-care – don’t wait! Take these steps immediately to give you a boost and get your energy back. A holistic approach to balancing your wellness is the best way to nourish your body back to health. Eating well, getting enough sleep, keeping your stress in check, and taking supplements will give you the extra support your immune system needs.
Drink Lots of Fluids
Drink lots of fluids when you feel under the weather. Water, herbal teas with honey, bone broth, and soups will help you nourish and recover quickly.
Water is key to fighting off illness, spreading nutrients to cells, and regulating your body temperature.
Electrolytes are important if you are dehydrated, and hydration is key for nutrient absorption and digestion. Your bodily fluids carry immune cells to fight off infections and deliver essential nutrients to help you recover from illness.
Drink herbal teas to support your immune system, digestion, and respiratory tract. A warm cup of tea with a spoonful of honey is comforting when you’re feeling under the weather. The heat can soothe sore throats, stuffy noses, chest congestion, and calm upset stomachs.
Teas For a Cold:
- Ginger
- Lemon
- Elderberry
- Chamomile
- Lemongrass
- Peppermint
- Green tea
- Cinnamon
Soups are also a great source of nutrients, and bone broths are incredibly beneficial for your immune system. Drinking warm broths with lots of garlic, spices, and herbs is great, especially if you don’t have much of an appetite.
Rest, Rest & Rest!
Sleep plays a vital function in the body’s ability to fight infection and recover from illness. If you’ve been feeling particularly low on energy, sleep can help you push the reset button on your energy levels, de-stress, balance hormones, and allow your body to recover.
With fewer demands, your body gets the opportunity to produce more of the white blood cells that attack viruses and bacteria that prevent it from healing. The best solution to fighting off sickness is sleep, so don’t cut yourself short. Even a daytime nap for 30 minutes to an hour can do a lot of good for your well-being.
If you are having trouble getting deep sleep, one serving of Pure Sleep 30 minutes before bed will help you sleep through the night.
Stay Warm
Cold weather is an instigator for making sickness worse. Cover up your chest and airways when you are going outdoors. Taking a hot shower or bath can help warm up your core if you have chills. Steam is also great for relieving head and chest congestion and will bring soothing relief if you are feeling achy. Add some Eucalyptus essential oil to your bath, shower, or add to a diffuser in your bedroom to help open up airways and relax.
Give Yourself A Vitamin Boost
Extra vitamins are great, and chances are you are not getting enough naturally through your diet. During colder weather, taking daily vitamins is excellent as a preventative and to lessen the severity of sickness if you catch a bug. Take a daily serving of Vitamin C, Zinc, and Vitamin D for immune support, to help fight off invaders, and decrease the duration of a cold. Pure Hemp Botanicals Immune Support formula is a great daily addition to your wellness routine. Get a little CBD and Vitamin C daily in a capsule, or drop an effervescent tablet in a glass of water for a fizzy citrus drink with Zinc, Vitamin C, and CBD!
These immune support tips can help when you feel a bug coming on. Take care of your wellness and feel your best!
