The flu virus is quite a doozy this year, so we need to arm ourselves with tools that will protect us from getting sick. There are several simple things you can do on a daily basis to bolster your immune system:
- Stay hydrated - drink at least 3 quarts of water every day.
- Exercise to move your lymphatic system, the "garbage collector" our immune system relies on to rid the body of pathogens.
- Get plenty of rest. This means not only sleeping 7+ hours each night, but having restful waking time too. Give yourself permission to read books and put your feet up this winter.
- Eat your fruits and veggies! They are rich sources of immune-boosting vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
- Take elderberry syrup daily.
