Natural Ways to Boost Your Immune System and Stay Healthy

Winter is HERE! Every year we see an uptick in the flu around this time and we start to think about immune building supplements. This time of year we must be diligent about keeping our immune health strong. Supplements are a great addition to a healthy lifestyle but, supplements do not kill viruses and bacteria, it is YOUR immune system that kills pathogens. We are exposed to pathogens daily and a healthy immune system should be able to fight them off. How do you strengthen your immune system? Plenty of sleep, proper nutrition, exercise, keep your stress levels low and get regular Chiropractic adjustments. By keeping your spine healthy you decrease inflammation and interference in the nervous system.

I rarely get sick, but if I do it is usually after a few nights of poor sleep during a stressful time in my life. You can help to strengthen your innate immune system to help it fight off pathogens with certain vitamins, minerals and herbs. The most important Vitamins to supplement with are Vitamin D and Vitamin C. Also supplementing with the mineral Zinc will help boost your innate immune system. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and can help strengthen your body's natural defenses. Vitamin D helps facilitate a normal immune response. Zinc is found inside your cells and helps to fight off viruses and bacteria at a cellular level.
