Cold and flu season is right around the corner - are you taking steps to avoid becoming sick?
Simple choices can strengthen your immune system and protect your health. Lifestyle choices such as avoiding tobacco, eating plenty of vegetables and fruits, exercising regularly, getting enough rest, maintaining a healthy weight, and if you do drink alcohol...drink in moderation. Do these suggestions sound familiar? Lifestyle choices can have a powerful and positive impact on your health. *
Additional steps to boost immune health and prevent illness include:
Spending time in nature (forest bathing!) and enjoying moderate time in the sun.
Drinking herbal teas.
Meditation, prayer, and deep breathing techniques.
