What are you doing to support your immune system during COVID-19 and Influenza season this winter?
As the winter cold and flu season approaches, ways to boost your immune system are amongst the most common questions people are talking about now. Taking preventative steps to strengthen your immune health will always be beneficial for your physical and mental health, now and in the future. If you’re older or have an underlying health condition, taking preventative measures is a great idea. Your overall immune system health may benefit from the following 6 practical actions, which you can easily do right now:
Manage your stress and learn to ‘chillax’ more.
Ongoing stress has a detrimental effect on the immune system and may increase your risk of contracting infections. Acute stressors may temporarily enhance immune functions, chronic stressors likely diminish immune function.
Worrying about the spread of Covid-19, stressing about the financial impact it’s having, and focusing on the uncertainties of the future can raise cortisol levels, which may negatively impact our immune function. Fear is the #1 emotion easiest to catch! We can’t always make stressful situations disappear. But we can all take measures to control our response to stress.
Consider:
Don’t forget to continue scrubbing up!
It’s a given to continue keeping good personal hygiene by regularly and thoroughly washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand sanitisers that help kills viruses that may be on your hands. Check out our beautiful scented 70% ethanol natural hand and surface sanitiser liquid spray (no yucky gel build up!) that’s distilled with native rainforest botanicals (aloe vera and citrus oils) that leaves your skin soft and smooth. You can find it here.
Final thoughts
See Covid-19 as a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reset the important things in your life and live the life you have always wanted to! To elevate the importance of your health and well-being. To make it a priority in your life right now. To reconnect with the people who are important to you and you love. To listen to your body as it never lies! To incorporate all the little nurturing and restorative rituals you’ve let go over the years that you used to do for yourself, before you put others before you as life got busier and more stressful.
Remember you still have ultimate control and choice in your life. Difficult times can diminish us. Develop us. Define us. Which do you choose? We believe that in most negatives there’s a positive to be found and we’re sure you will come out stronger than ever before in many ways! We’re all in this together.
Viva la vida (long live life)
