Winter is notorious for an abundance of cold and flu viruses. Frigid temperatures, less fresh air, and reduced sunlight pose real challenges for our immune system and overall health. If you have young children, you are probably aware of the sick days that accrue this time of year, resulting in time away from school and missed work opportunities. Health professionals encourage general, daily preventive measures that can help reduce the spread of illnesses, but healthy lifestyle habits will ensure the body is strong and equipped to handle infection. It is more important than ever to take proactive steps to stay healthy and maintain homeostasis, or a balanced well-being. You might be surprised to learn how much daily decisions impact your body’s ability to fight off infection.

Other than the basic recommendations of eating well, staying hydrated, exercising, maintaining a healthy weight, getting enough sleep, not smoking, using good hygiene, and avoiding excessive alcohol use, Kristen Turpen, of Radiant Holistic Healing LLC, has several great ways you can boost your immunity. “I have been able to facilitate a much faster recovery time for many of my clients with these protocols and suggestions,” says Kristen, a holistic nutritionist who is passionate about helping clients heal their bodies from any suffering caused by illness. 

She suggests:

Probiotics—Take a superior spore-based probiotic to boost immunity. “Good” bacteria promote and maintain digestive health.

Zinc—to help create immune cells and keep them working properly. 

Glutathione with vitamin C—to boost healing and detoxification while fighting illness. 

Quercetin—for the histamine reaction the body has while sick and during allergy season. 

Mega Mucosa—an immunoglobin that helps boost the immune system via the gut microbiome. 

Mega Viron—empowers the immune system and potentially prevents sickness from occurring.  

Astragalus—This powerful herb has antiviral properties that stimulate the immune system. It also has powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. 

Thymex—This is very effective for lung infections such as pneumonia. It delivers strength to the white blood cells and repairs tissue damage, along with promoting edema and lymphatic draining. 

Cold weather does not cause illness, but it can make us more susceptible to viruses and colds. When the body is exposed to frigid temperatures, blood flow to the surface of the skin increases to keep the body warm. This can cause the immune system to become less effective at fighting infection, making it easier for viruses to take hold. Healthy lifestyle choices along with Kristen’s preventive recommendations can help you stay in peak fighting shape for the winter season and throughout the year.
