How To Boost Your Immunity DuringThe Holiday SeasonHBy Caitlin Ogletree, MS, RDoliday gatherings and cooler temperatures are something most of us look forward to, butwith that comes increased exposure to germs. Here are a few easy ways to boost your immune system to keep you and your family healthy through the season of all the festivities.-Eat Nutrient Rich FoodsFilling your plate with whole, unprocessed foods will ensure that you are getting the needed vitamins and antioxidants to support your immune system. Citrus, bell peppers, spinach, sweet potatoes and blueberries are rich in Vitamin C and Antioxidants, while fatty fish, nuts and seeds are rich in Vitamin E- another immune boosting nutrient.- Eat Probiotic Rich FoodsProbiotics support gut health, which plays a large role in immune function. Nourishing the gut with these “good bugs” will ensure you have a healthy and balanced gut microbiome. Foods like yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut and kefir are all great to include regularly to ensure this healthy balance. This becomes even more important if you take a course of antibiotics for an illness- replacing the friendly flora helps restore balance and supports your body’s natural defenses.JOIN USConnecting, Supporting&Empowering Women In Business• Expand Your Business Connections• Collaborate With Like-Minded Women • Attend Lunch & Learns• Ribbon Cutting Ceremonies• Provide Networking & Social Events• Building RelationshipsASSOCIATIONRegister today for our next event at www.stoneoakladiesba.comor all (210) 421-6076- Adequate Rest and WaterSleep and hydration are key to keeping your immune system functioning at its best.
