You may notice that a change in season makes you feel a little under the weather. Just as the seasons change, your body undergoes changes too! Shifts in temperature, humidity and wind patterns can impact the immune system's function, leaving you more susceptible to illness.
The good news is, there are things you can do to support your immunity during changing seasons - and a lot of these strategies are simpler than you’d think. Let me break it down for you!
Eat more fruits and vegetables
We all know that fruit and vegetables are super important for overall health, but did you know that consuming more fruits and vegetables is actually associated with a better immune response? Studies show that increasing our fruit and vegetable consumption leads to reduced inflammation and enhanced immune cells. This improves your body’s ability to fight off infection!
Considering only 5% of the population reach fruit and vegetable targets, it’s safe to assume that most #LSFbabes may struggle to eat enough fruits and veggies (myself included!). This is why I LOVE taking my OxyGreens! OxyGreens contains so many superfoods such as celery, green kiwi, banana, Acai berry, blueberries and so much more to support optimal immune and gut health. PLUS, it tastes delicious (no grassy taste at all!).
Get enough sun exposure
Do not underestimate the importance of getting outdoors! Sunlight exposure has been shown to positively impact immune function. This is because sunlight exposure is essential for the body to synthesise Vitamin D. Studies show that adequate vitamin D can prevent respiratory tract infections and enhance overall immune function. So babes, be sure to get at least 20 minutes of sun exposure every day - plus, it’s an additional benefit to getting your daily steps in!
Keep active
When the seasons change, it can be harder to find the motivation to work out. But staying active couldn’t be more important! Studies show that regular exercise promotes circulation of immune cells and strengthens the body’s immune defence system. Not only will you be working on your fitness goals, but doing your LSF workout will help to support your immune system!
But what should you do if you’re struggling to get motivated? Take OxyShred, of course! OxyShred not only contains energy-boosting ingredients, but also contains B vitamins that will help give you the boost you need to smash out a workout. Plus, OxyShred contains 193% of the RDI of Vitamin C to help support your immune system, too!
Which supplements should I take to support immunity?
A healthy balanced diet and regular exercise is the best way to support immunity, however, supplementation can be advantageous to ensure your body has adequate essential nutrients needed for immune function.
I have curated three incredible supplements in the IMMUNITY STACK to help support your health during these changing seasons. This stack contains OxyGreens, which contains antioxidant berries, super greens and prebiotic fiber to enhance gut and immune function.
