Sharing this for the ‘sick season’
Keeping your household healthy can feel like a challenge, but small changes can make a big difference! Here are some simple yet effective ways to boost immunity and keep the sickies at bay:
1. Heal the Gut! A strong immune system starts in the gut. Probiotics and prebiotics help maintain gut health—consider Klaire Labs and ION Gut Support for quality options.
2. Manage Stress. Chronic stress weakens the immune system. Try lavender oil, chamomile tea, yoga, and mindfulness to help manage daily stress.
3. Prioritize Sleep. Rest is crucial for immunity. Natural sleep aids like tart cherry, lavender, and magnesium can help improve sleep without medications.
4. Boost Immunity with Nutrients. Elderberry and sea moss are packed with essential vitamins and minerals to support your immune system. Check out Laura's Elderberry LLC for organic elderberries, wholesome fruits, and high-quality sea moss. Other great immune boosters include echinacea, vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc.
5. Stay Hydrated. Water helps flush out toxins and supports immune function. Dehydration can weaken the immune system and zap your energy, making it harder to fight off infections.
6. Check for Food Intolerances. Undiagnosed food sensitivities can wreak havoc on the gut and immune system. Identifying and eliminating trigger foods can help.
7. Change Clothes After School. If your kids go to school, have them change their clothes when they get home. Germs can linger on fabrics for hours!
8. Manage Allergies. When allergies flare up, your immune system is already in overdrive, making it harder to fight off colds and viruses. Keeping allergies in check can help reduce overall immune strain.
9. Improve Air Quality. Use MERV-13 or higher-rated filters to trap smaller particles, including viruses, and keep the air in your home cleaner.
10. Maintain Healthy Humidity Levels. Dry air can make you more susceptible to illness. Keeping humidity levels above 43% can help reduce airborne viruses and improve respiratory health.
11. Detox Regularly. Supporting your body’s natural detox pathways helps organs function properly, allowing them to absorb nutrients and fight off illness more effectively. Lauras elderberry also has a detox crafted tea that can aid the removal of toxins. Detoxing also strengthens the lymphatic system. Coseva trs has been shown to help rid thee body of toxins and parasites. Message Laura DiSalvo for More info; we sell them in 1, 2 or 3 spray bottles.
12. Check for Mold. Mold exposure can weaken the immune system, making it harder to fight off everyday germs. If you suspect mold in your home, address it promptly.
13. Reduce Sugar Intake. Too much sugar increases inflammation and disrupts gut health, making it harder for your immune system to function properly. Cutting back on sugar can help your body stay strong.
There are many other ways to strengthen your immune system, but these small steps can make a big impact! Here’s to a healthier home and fewer sick days! 💪
