Immunity

WE DON’T NOTICE, BUT OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS ARE AT WAR EVERY DAY AGAINST FOREIGN INVADERS.

Our bodies’ first line of defense consists of our skin, mucous membranes and digestive system. We need key nutrients and a balanced lifestyle to support these critical defense mechanisms, or they can weaken and let bacteria and viruses slip by and travel deeper into the body. Nutritional deficiencies can reduce the number of immune cells circulating in the blood, further impairing our ability to respond to these external threats.

The good news is that if we “feed” our immune systems with healthy lifestyle habits and supporting nutrients, we can keep them performing at their best and block out those invaders!

LIFESTYLE: THE FOUNDATION OF IMMUNITY

We’ve heard it all before, but it’s amazing just how much sleep, exercise and stress can affect immunity. Sleep speeds healing, while exercise can reduce colds and flus by half! Managing stress is critical too – meditation apps are all the rage!

VITAMIN C: THE EVERYDAYIMMUNE ESSENTIAL

Vitamin C is essential for immunity as it supports key tissues involved in that first line of defense. Look for a timed-release vitamin C combined with antioxidants like rose hips, which can improve absorption while protecting against oxidation.
