After you’ve finished reading, why not watch my reel for a bit more info?
Nutrition
We advise planning your diet to include the right amounts of immune supporting nutrients such as vitamin A and C, copper, iron and zinc.
But when time is tight, we know it’s easier said than done.
As long as you’re eating balanced meals, a high quality supplement like this one can lend a little extra support to meeting your body’s nutritional needs.
Stress
As much as possible, keep stressors to a minimum. There’s always going to be some stress in like but unnecessary strain can cause immune dysfunction.
When you’re stressed, your body produces the stress hormone cortisol.
In the long term, too much of this hormone can cause your immune function to be suppressed.
Again, easier said than done! And not all people deal with stress equally.
Take time to note down your particular stress triggers and understand how to effectively manage them.
Exercise
Exercise is a proven way to slow the release of stress hormones and is therefore a powerful tool to boost immunity.
Regular exercise assists in attaining deeper, more restorative sleep, which gives the body more time to heal itself and recharge its depleted resources.
