It's the season for runny noses and unstoppable sneezing
I, like you, used to end up sick after not listening to my body; those days are gone because I now prioritize the things I need to keep me and my immune system strong
Today I’m sharing 5 ways you can keep a cold at bay
5 Ways to Keep a Cold Away
| SLEEP |
8 hours of sleep has been proven to help your immune function better.
I know a lot of people who tell me that they sleep 5-6 hours a night. Like, how? I cannot function without 8 hours of sleep. After putting my body to the test many times, I’ve learned that sleep cures a lot!
| MOVEMENT |
Get your sweat on!
Working out is a great way to prevent getting the cold and flu virus. In addition to giving you endorphins, working out also enhances your immune function.
| HYDRATION |
Staying hydrated is KEY especially as the weather drops; there is less moisture in the air and our organs and brain need hydration to function
| NUTRITION |
Nutrition plays a major role in keeping your immune system strong. Keeping extremely processed foods + sugars, low & eating more whole nutrient dense foods, keeps your immune system strong
| STRESS MANAGEMENT |
Managing stress also plays a role in keeping your cold at bay; When our cortisol (stress hormone) is high, our immune system becomes compromised. Managing your stress is key. A few things you can do daily are: daily #stronggirlwalks , journaling, meditating, working out and talking to a therapist
