Tips for Avoiding Seasonal Illness
As the days get colder, it feels like everyone around us is sniffling or coughing. The good news? You don’t have to join them. By giving your immune system the right support, you can stay strong and healthy all season long.
Here are some simple ways to boost your defenses:
Stay happy. Your mood has a direct impact on your immune system. Laugh often, smile, and try to step back from the stress of the news. Set inspiring goals that keep your spirits lifted.
Move daily. Just 30 minutes of light exercise—like walking, yoga, or climbing stairs—can strengthen immunity. But don’t overdo it. Heavy workouts can actually suppress your immune response.
Support your gut. Half of your immune system lives in your digestive tract. Probiotics (such as Orthobiotic or Bio Dolph7) can help your gut stay balanced and resilient.
Pamper your skin. After bathing, try massaging sesame oil into your skin. It not only nourishes but also contains compounds that support immune function.
Skip alcohol and depressant drugs. These weaken your immune defenses.
Get your rest. Aim for 7–8 hours of solid sleep to allow your body to rebuild and recharge.
Cut the sugar. Refined sugar makes your immune system sluggish. Swap it for whole, nutrient-rich foods.
Fill nutrient gaps. A multivitamin (like Bio Multi Plus) and extra vitamin C (1,000–2,000 mg per day) keep your system strong through the winter.
Add Lauricidin. This natural fatty acid helps deactivate viruses, bacteria, and even yeast.
If You Do Get Sick
Rest—seriously. Most of us get sick when we’ve been pushing too hard.
Boost your vitamins. Extra vitamin A and C can shorten the illness. Timed-release vitamin C is especially effective.
Use zinc early. Start zinc (no more than 50mg daily) at the very first sign of a cold.
Skip symptom-only meds. While over-the-counter remedies may ease discomfort, they can actually keep you sick longer. Homeopathics often help without side effects.
Target the cause. Lauricidin and proteolytic enzymes support viral defense, while Bio Immune Zyme Forte helps with bacterial infections.
Get adjusted. Chiropractic adjustments help stimulate immune activity and can make a big difference if you get one at the onset of illness.
Detox with hot baths. Add Epsom salts or ginger to help pull toxins out through your skin.
Try a silver spray. A colloidal silver nasal spray (like Argentyn) can help fight germs in the sinuses and throat.
Staying healthy this winter doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few simple daily habits, you’ll give your immune system the edge it needs to thrive.
