It seems like everywhere we turn lately someone is battling a cold, cough, sore throat or another bug making its rounds. That time of the year is back!
As we head into the colder months here's a little reminder that rest is one of the best things we cann give our bodies when we're sick. Our immune systems are working hard, and getting enough sleep, staying hydrated and allowing ourselves time to recover is so important. Staying home when we're sick also helps protect those around us. It's also a great time to pay attention to our vitamin C and vitamin D intake, especially for our children too.
Vitamin C helps support our immune systems and can be found naturally in oranges, strawberries, kiwi, bell peppers, broccoli and potatoes. Vitamin D is especially important during our Canadian winters when we're getting less sunlight. It plays an important role in immune function, as well as keeping our bones and muscles healthy. Since it can be difficult to get enough through food alone, it's worth making sure the whole family is getting the recommended amount. We can't avoid every illness but we can certainly support our bodies through it.
And a friendly reminder from us at The Massage Temple: if you're feeling unwell, please stay home and rest. Your appointment can wait, and we appreciate you helping keep our therapists and other clients healthy too
